Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman made some special announcements for the Railways ministry, stating in her Budget speech on Tuesday that 400 new Vande Bharat trains will be introduced and 100 PM GatiShakti cargo terminals built in the next three years.
She also announced that 2,000 km of the rail network will be brought under the indigenous world-class technology KAWACH.
Railways minister Ashwini Vaishnaw lauded the announcements and also informed what the KAWACH technology entails.
“The indigenously-developed anti-collision technology is SIL4 certified which means there is the probability of a single error in 10,000 years,” Vaishnaw said.
