How long has the Indian Railways set a target to put RFID tags in all its coaches -

March 2021
December 2021
March 2022
December 2022

By December 2022, Indian Railways will complete the process of installing radio-frequency identification tags, ie RFID, in all the coaches. Rail coaches can be located wherever they are through this tag.
So far, RFID tags have been installed in 23000 train coaches. This work is still going on. However, this work has slowed down for some time due to the Kovid epidemic. The government has set a deadline of December 2022 to install RFID tags in all coaches of Indian Railways.
At present, Indian Railways maintains in writing the information of all its coaches in which there is considerable scope for errors. In such a situation, it will be easy for the railway to know the exact position of all its coaches and engines with RFID tag.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology uses electromagnetic fields to automatically detect and track tags associated with objects.
An RFID tag consists of a small radio transponder, a radio receiver, and a transmitter. When an electromagnetic signal is triggered from a nearby RFID reader device, the tag sends digital data, usually an identification list number, to the reader device.
