Western Railway (WR) is enhancing safety and efficiency in train operations by implementing KAVACH, an Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system developed indigenously by Indian Railways through the Research Designs & Standards Organization (RDSO).

An official release from WR stated that KAVACH is designed to help achieve the goal of "zero accidents" by automatically applying brakes if the loco pilot fails to do so, ensuring safe train operation even in adverse weather conditions. The system also assists loco pilots in maintaining specified speed limits and prevents Signal Passing at Danger (SPAD).
