March 2026 deadline set to train all S&T officers on Kavach

The Indian Railways Signal Engineering and Telecommunications Institute (IRİSET) has prepared a comprehensive plan to accelerate the launch of Kavach, a domestic automatic train protection system, which was developed as a domestic automatic train protection system, until March 31, 2026.

General Manager Sharad Kumar Srivastava reported that the eight-one-week accident course was planned this year, while six special training programs focused on ‘Loco Kavach’ for civil servants and supervisors from Electric Loko-sheds.

The senior officials in the regions have currently participated in the appreciation programs in Kavach since July, and in -house training has started for all faculty members to develop internal capacity and future preparation. Official, Kavach training, cross -functional departments and industrial stakeholders for the extension of programs, he said.

For ATP-Cavach in the Institute, the center of excellence (COE), meanwhile, the development of the interface of Kavach-electronic interface, the developments in radio communication, the standardization of brake algorithms, the virtual reality-based simulations and so on. Continues to lead innovations such as.

This year, two new electronic locking (EI) laboratory were assigned and the integrated block with EI systems was facilitated. This cooperated with Kavach OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) to accelerate the deployment throughout the country. A new latest technology LTE Laboratory with advanced practical tools, using open source technologies to deploy a star -based VOIP exchange, better simulation facilities and software upgrades were made.

Mr. Srivastava said that 172 programs were held to train 4,531 personnel this year. Approximately 624 Industrial Specialists were also trained in railway signals, Telecom and Kavach Technologies.
