Consider the following statements:

I. Indian Railways have prepared a National Rail Plan (NRP) to create a ‘future ready’ railway system by 2030.

II. ‘Kavach’ is an Automatic Train Protection system developed in collaboration with Germany.

III. ‘Kavach’ system consists of RFID tags fitted on track in station section.

Which of the statements given above are not correct?

The correct answer is I and II only (i.e., Statements I and II are not correct).

Let us analyze each statement step-by-step to understand why they are incorrect or correct:

Statement I: "Indian Railways have prepared a National Rail Plan (NRP) to create a ‘future ready’ railway system by 2030."
This statement is incorrect. While the National Rail Plan (NRP) aims to create a 'future ready' railway system, the target year for creating this infrastructure is 2050, not 2030. The plan seeks to increase the modal share of railways in freight to 45% by 2030 as a mid-term milestone, but the overall vision of the NRP is to meet traffic requirements up to 2050.

Statement II: "‘Kavach’ is an Automatic Train Protection system developed in collaboration with Germany."
This statement is incorrect. 'Kavach' is India's own Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system. It was designed and developed completely indigenously by the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) in collaboration with the Indian industry, without German collaboration.

Statement III: "‘Kavach’ system consists of RFID tags fitted on track in station section."
This statement is correct. The Kavach system operates using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. RFID tags are indeed fitted on the tracks (typically in the station section and throughout the track network) to identify the location of the train and track direction information.

Since the question asks for the statements that are not correct, Statements I and II are incorrect, making "I and II only" the correct option.
