The system, which was adopted as the national ATP in 2020, is being developed by three Indian OEMs (HBL PowerSystems, Kernex, and Medha), with plans to onboard more. The deployment of Kavach is crucial for the safety of passengers as it automatically applies brakes in case of overspeeding or signal passing in danger, and also provides assistance in challenging weather conditions. Other features include speed control, signal repetition in the cab, and auto whistling at level crossings. The system involves the installation of optical fiber cables, telecom towers, and equipment at stations, locomotives, and trackside locations. The goal is to equip all 70,000 route km with Kavach.

Aur bhi OEMs ko is project mein laane ki planning hai. Kavach ko deploy karna passengers ki safety ke liye bahut important hai, kyuki ye overspeeding ya signal crossing ke case mein automatically brakes lagate hai, aur bad weather conditions mein bhi help karta hai. Iske aur features mein speed control, cab mein signal repeat karna, aur level crossing pe auto whistling karna bhi shamil hai. System mein optical fiber cables, telecom towers, aur stations, locomotives, aur trackside locations pe equipment lagana shamil hai. Plan ye hai ki 70,000 route km pe Kavach lagaaya jaaye.
