What is the DRISHTI System?

Nov. 13, 2025

The Indian Railways is planning to install a new AI-based Locking Monitoring System called – ‘DRISHTI’.

About DRISHTI System:

  • It is an AI-Based Freight Wagon Locking Monitoring System.
  • The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) joined hands with the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Technology Innovation and Development Foundation (IITG TIDF) to develop the system.
  • The DRISHTI system aims to tackle operational challenges in identifying unlocked or tampered doors on moving freight wagons, a persistent safety and security issue in rail logistics.
  • The new AI-based solution is designed to provide real-time monitoring, detect anomalies in door locking mechanisms, and automatically generate alerts without disrupting train movement.
  • It uses AI-powered cameras and sensors strategically installed to capture and analyse door positions and locking conditions.
  • It uses advanced computer vision and machine learning technology for the detection purposes.
  • DRISHTI is expected to improve freight security, enhance wagon sealing integrity, and reduce dependency on manual inspection processes.
  • Plans are underway to further refine and scale the system for wider adoption across NFR’s freight corridors after successful completion of ongoing trials.
