The odd part
Achieving an incredible 58% reduction in equipment failure by the bold strategy of declaring a 52-week 'Rolling Block'—meaning if you're always fixing it, it technically never finished failing.
What happened
Indian Railways has proudly announced a massive 58% drop in signalling failures over the last 11 years. This efficiency was achieved just as the ministry introduced a 'Rolling Block' system that plans maintenance 52 weeks in advance. By turning maintenance into a perpetual state of existence, the ministry has effectively cured 'failure' by making it the standard operating procedure.
