Strengthening Railway Safety Through Advanced Technology
Ashoka Buildcon Ltd. is proud to announce the successful commissioning of 251 Route Kilometres (RKM) of KAVACH (Indian Railway Automatic Train Protection System – IR-ATP) for East Central Railway, marking a significant milestone in Indian Railways' mission to enhance safety, reliability, and operational efficiency.
KAVACH is India's indigenous Automatic Train Protection system designed to prevent collisions, improve signalling integrity, and support safer train operations through real-time monitoring and automated intervention.
The project was implemented in phases, beginning with the successful commissioning of the Manpur (Gaya) – Sharmatand section and subsequently expanding across additional sections of East Central Railway. With the commissioning of these sections, the total KAVACH territory commissioned by Ashoka Buildcon Ltd. now stands at 251 RKM.
The commissioned network has undergone rigorous safety assessments, validation trials, and operational testing under fully functional KAVACH 4.0 conditions, including trials with Vande Bharat Express, locomotive-hauled passenger trains, and freight operations. Independent Safety Assessment was carried out by ITALCERTIFER, Italy, followed by authorization from East Central Railway's Principal Chief Signal & Telecommunication Engineer (PCSTE).
This achievement contributes to Indian Railways' ambitious Mission Raftaar, e
We are proud to support Indian Railways in building a safer, smarter, and future-ready transportation network through advanced digital signalling and train protection technologies.
