The Indian Railways has approved a Rs 209 crore project to upgrade signalling infrastructure at seven stations in the Solapur Division of Central Railway. This modernisation effort is aimed at supporting the rollout of Kavach, an indigenous Automatic Train Protection system designed to prevent collisions and overspeeding. The upgrades will be implemented at Mohol, Mundhewadi, Bale, Solapur, Hotgi Junction-Hotgi A Cabin, Shahabad and Wadi Junction, all part of the High Density Network (HDN)-7 route.
The Electronic Interlocking (EI) system will be installed, offering quicker detection of signalling faults and reducing restoration time. EI's computer-based technology also enables easier maintenance and greater flexibility in managing train movements. This upgrade is part of Indian Railways' broader signalling modernisation programme, which involves replacing conventional systems with advanced technology and equipping routes with automatic train protection and traffic management systems.
