    Question

    Which of the following is a key feature of the Kavach

    4.0 system that Indian Railways plans to roll out?
    A Kavach 4.0 will enable trains to operate without any onboard staff. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Kavach 4.0 will cover 100% of the Indian Railways network by the end of 2024. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Kavach 4.0 will initially focus on upgrading locomotives and routes with automatic signaling, starting with the Delhi-Howrah and Delhi-Mumbai routes. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Kavach 4.0 will reduce the installation cost per locomotive to ₹10 lakh. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Kavach 4.0 is designed to be compatible with both freight and passenger drones. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Kavach 4.0, an updated automated train protection system by Indian Railways, is set to begin its roll-out in October. The initial deployment will focus on upgrading 10,000 locomotives and covering over 9,000 route kilometers, particularly on the Delhi-Howrah and Delhi-Mumbai routes. The roll-out will prioritize sections with automatic signaling, and the coverage will eventually extend to other key routes, such as Delhi-Chennai and Mumbai-Chennai. The system aims to enhance safety and efficiency in train operations but does not include the ability to operate without onboard staff or involve drones, nor does it drastically reduce installation costs to ₹10 lakh per locomotive.
