Railways May Witness DRGM-Level Reshuffle Amid Kavach Rollout

Speculation suggests DRGM-level reshuffles in Indian Railways may take place in Q1 2026, linked to delays in the rollout of the Kavach train protection system. HBL Power Systems is expected to play a major role in implementing Kavach across 68,000 km, a project estimated at ₹30,000–50,000 crore over 5–10 years.

Kavach is a critical safety initiative for Indian Railways. Administrative reshuffles often follow large-scale project reviews. Indigenous safety systems are central to railway modernization. Successful rollout could significantly reduce rail accidents.
