Indian Railways reduces train accidents by 88% in 12 years

Indian Railways has made big improvements in safety over the past 12 years.

They have reduced serious train accidents by 88%, from 135 in 2014-15 to just 16 in 2025-26.

This is because they have spent more money on safety, upgraded their signalling systems, and introduced new technologies like Kavach, which helps trains stop automatically if the driver doesn't.

They have also made other changes like better track maintenance and removing unmanned level crossings.

All these efforts have made train travel safer in India.
