India Developing, but still a long way to go

Transit-Oriented-Development (TOD)
- so this is what this TOD acronym looks like in real life, all the rage in India's rail corridors

It is for people like Prabhu and Gadkari that we need this govt to rule atleast for 10 years if not for Modi himself. Our roads and railways will never be the same again under these 2 visionaries.

Exactly, and I would hope there would be visionaries like this in every cabinet no matter what party is in power.

+ I am also a massive fan of Amitabh Kan (now CEO of Niti Ayog but formally CEO of the DMIC), this was the PERFECT appointment by the PM for that post IMHO.

Poor chap is always backstabbed by his electorate. Hopefully this time around people recognise his good work and elect him to power again

I beg to differ. Chandrababu naidu is all talk and nothing on the ground. Let us take his first two terms. He spent all his money, resources, investments on one city and the entire state has been left in the dark. As result he was voted out of power.

Now, after Hyderabad going to Telangana state, he is planning to build a new capital for AP from scratch! From scrath really? The plan for Amaravathi is around 45 yrs! And more, this will be built by bulldozing 4 crop paddy fields, "rice bowl of India"!.

He has an exisiting city like Vizag (Visakhapatnam) he could have built on that, or other smaller towns like Vijaywada or Tirupati, but he chose to build something from scratch, when he has to money to pay salaries to his govt staff.

Coming to the capital lands, he and his party leaders grabbed max lands and are doing nothing but real estate business in Amaravathi. If earlier Congress govt minted money in name of irrigation projects, Chandrababu naidu and his govt are doing the same on capital construction.

All road contracts, toll plaza contracts, everything is being given to Chandrababu naidu and his benami companies and his partymen. Do you think people do not know all this?

Super storm Hudhud hit the Uttarandhra region including Greater Vizag city. But Chandrababu naidu diverted all funds for this natural disaster to his capital construction and other works, leaving the people of that region angry over him.

While the state was divided, the commission appointed to look into the division warned Chandrababu naidu not to centralize everything again at one city and asked to spread development across all three regions of the state (Uttarandhra, Kosta, Rayalaseema), but Chandrababu naidu is again doing the same mistake of Hyderabad.

These moves also left the other region Rayalaseema people venting fire on Chandrababu naidu and his govt.

This man Chandrababu naidu, is blinded by his partymen, caste favors etc. I doubt his re-election to AP assembly in 2019.

I heard TCS was recently fined a billion dollars for IP theft. In some ways I think it serves them right but this will be a blow for sure

Indian Railways promise to lay 7km of track a day to reduce traffic congestion
Aimed at de-congesting the existing rail network, the Indian Railways will commission 2800 km of new track in the current year.

Indian Railways have hatched plans to lay new tracks in addition to starting work on three new freight corridors that will increase the average speed of passenger trains.

Railway officials said it is targeted to lay 7 km of tracks every day in the year 2016-17 as compared to the average of 4.3 km per day during the previous UPA regime.


The plan also includes the doubling and trebling of existing railway tracks

In the year 2015-16, railways commissioned nearly 2500 km of new track which was 40 per cent more than the previous year’s achievement of 1983 km.

The drive is expected to gather further pace in 2017-18 when average 13 km of rails will be laid km every day.

According to an action plan formulated to bolster rail network, Railway Ministry officials said the bar will be raised further in 2018- 19 to 19 km per day.

The laying of new track including doubling and trebling is being undertaken in some of the most saturated corridors such as Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi- Howrah, Delhi-Chennai, Howrah-Chennai Ahmedabad- Rajkot.

Officials said the priority is on decongestion of the choked corridors to facilitate faster movement of trains and for this we have used new ways to speed up the process.

Indian Railways also plan to begin work on three freight corridors, namely East West corridor, North South corridor and East Coast corridor.

These new dedicated freight corridors (DFC) will ensure faster movement of goods besides taking the load off existing rail network. Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu has said that the average speed of super-fast trains will be increased by up to 25 km per hour in the next three years.

“Laying new tracks, replacing old ones and doubling and tripling of lines are essential to clearing the traffic bottlenecks.

Traffic congestion also leads to delay in transportation of goods which is a major source of railways’ earnings,” said a senior Railway Ministry official. While North-South DFC is being planned to connect Delhi to Chennai, East-West DFC will link Kharagpur with Mumbai and East Coast DFC will connect Kharagpur to Vijayawada.


These three additional DFC will be funded through innovative financing mechanism including PPP. Railways have already done a feasibility study for these three corridors. Currently, work is going on Western and Eastern DFC.

While Western corridor is being funded by Japan, the Eastern is World Bank funded. Both Western and Eastern corridors will be electrified routes.

Presenting the budget for the year 2016-17, the Railway Minister had emphasized on connectivity with ports in India.

While the railways have already commissioned Tuna Port in Gujarat; rail connectivity projects to ports of Jaigarh, Dighi, Rewas and Paradip are under progress. Officials said rail connectivity for the ports of Nargol and Hazira will be executed under PPP model in 2016-17.

Conclusion:

India's looking to revamp it's Colonial infrastructure from Railways-Ports-Cities etc. @ $ 1-2 Trillion into the 2020's.
Funds - Sovereign, Multilateral and even Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Malay and Singaporean or Gulf and even Iranian funds and mega-funds are looking for investment options for eg. just Global pension funds are awash with $ 90 Trillion in assets seeking decent investment opportunities.

With said Trillions chasing Indian economy and it's power to payback good RoI's re: Indian demand Vs. income inflows into India's economy simply makes good business sense.

• Concretely, a $ 1 Trillion loan calls for extremely easy terms. India can easily payback a $ Trillion loan $ 50-75 billion yearly payments considering Indian mega-projects are paying, not pork-barrel projects !
