Consider the following statements:
I. Indian Railways have prepared a National Rail Plan (NRP) to create a ‘future ready’ railway system by
2028.
II. ‘Kavach’ is an Automatic Train Protection system developed in collaboration with Germany.
III. ‘Kavach’ system consists of RFID tags fitted on track in station section.
Which of the statements given above are not correct?
- A.I and II only
- B.II and III only
- C.I and III only
- D.I, II and III
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: A. I and II only
The National Rail Plan aims to create a future-ready railway system by 2030, not 2028, making the first statement incorrect. While 'Kavach' is indeed an Automatic Train Protection system, it was developed in India, not in collaboration with Germany, rendering the second statement incorrect. The third statement is also incorrect as Kavach utilizes RFID tags on the track for train positioning and signaling, but these are not exclusively fitted in the station section.
