India’s railway system is currently undergoing a $30 billion transformation, including the addition of new trains and stations. However, a recent deadly accident has highlighted the need for increased attention to safety within the network, according to industry analysts. At least 261 people died in the eastern state of Odisha when a passenger train derailed and collided with another. Many experts have highlighted issues with track maintenance and poor training for workers as contributing factors. The Indian Railways network is the fourth largest in the world, transporting 13 million people daily and nearly 1.5 billion tonnes of freight in 2022. While safety has always been a focus for Indian Railways, the recent tragedy has highlighted the need for renewed safety mechanisms across the network. Suggested measures include anti-collision devices and emergency warning systems, as well as better training for workers and expanded funding for safety research.
