Improving signaling systems of Indian Railways is a continuous process and the national company has taken several measures to improve the safety of railway traffic. Recently, the Ministry of Railways completed the automatic signaling work on the entire Pune-Lonavala stretch of Maharashtra. The move comes after the inauguration of the last stretch from Khadki to Pune on November 26.

This will improve the line capacity of the Pune-Lonavala section and facilitate safe and smooth movement of trains on the state section. It will also minimize human dependence on the railway company. The 64 km long area is under the administrative control of the Central Railway Zone (CR).
