New high-speed CMV boosts Namo Bharat corridor maintenance.

• NCRTC has introduced a high-speed Catenary Maintenance Vehicle (CMV) to enhance the maintenance of the 82-km Namo Bharat Corridor.
• The CMV is designed for 120 km/h (operational at 110 km/h) for faster and more efficient inspection and maintenance of the overhead power supply system.
• This specialized vehicle is the first in India to be integrated with Namo Bharat's ETCS Level 2 Hybrid Level 3 signaling, enabling Automatic Train Protection mode.
• Indigenously manufactured in Uttarakhand, the CMV ensures optimal operation and reliability of the Namo Bharat train service.
• Its high speed is crucial for efficient maintenance on the long corridor, especially given the limited time available between train operations.

Why It Matters: Ensures more reliable and on-time Namo Bharat train services for passengers.
