The Mumbai suburban system of Western Railway on Friday became one of the first sections of Indian Railways to get a `Kavach` safety cover with the commissioning of the Virar to Vadodara section. The section from Virar to Dahanu falls under the Mumbai suburban section. The project is part of the larger Nagda-Vadodara-Surat-Virar-Mumbai Central corridor, which has been sanctioned at a cost of Rs 397 crore.

Officials from the Western Railways asserted, "The installation of the Kavach System on Western Railway is being carried out at a very fast pace, and on January 30, `Kavach` will be commissioned on the Virar-Vadodara section. Train No. 20907, Dadar-Bhuj Sayaji Nagri Express, will be the first train to run with the `Kavach` system from Mumbai, departing from Dadar"
