Railways plan seven bullet train corridors

Bring them on!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont think Kerala's High Speed Rail include in these projects-Kerala state and Japanese JV

Delhi Regional Rapid Transit system

The National Capital Region (NCR) Planning Board has proposed the construction of eight rail corridors to connect Delhi and cities in the NCR with high-speed commuter trains under the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS).

A meeting would be held on Wednesday (December 9) to discuss the issue of cost-sharing, according to a senior Haryana government official. The cost would be shared between the Centre, governments of Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, and the Railways.

As per the proposal, the highspeed commuter trains would run at 10-minute intervals, Haryana Town and Country Planning Department director T C Gupta said on Monday.


"The corridors proposed would connect Delhi to NCR and involve four states: Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and UP," he said. The consultant appointed to look into viability of the project recently submitted its report, he said .

"The project would go a long way in catering to the growing transport demand in and around NCR," Gupta said. Due to the high cost involved, there is a proposal to take up the project in a phased manner, he said.

He also said the NCR Planning Board has proposed to form a separate organisation `NCR Transport Corporation' (NCRTC) to implement various comprehensive integrated multi-modal suburban commuter transportation system for the region. "NCRTC will have representatives from the Urban Development and Railways ministries, NCR Planning Board, and the governments of Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and UP," he said.

Indian Railways to introduce modern EMU train sets

The proposed train sets will increase passenger carrying capacity; reduce run time between destinations and consume less energy

Indian railways is adopting a multi pronged strategy to provide a safer, faster, cleaner, and more comfortable train experience to its passengers. As announced in the budget, seven corridors have been identified for conducting pre-feasibility studies for running high speed trains (popularly referred as bullet trains) at speeds above 350 kmph. These corridors will be set up through Public Private Partnership (PPP) route. A study is also being done on the Delhi-Mumbai route with help from the Japanese Government to raise the speed of passenger trains from 160 kmph to a semi-high speed at 200 kmph.
The proposed train sets will increase passenger carrying capacity; reduce run time between destinations and consume less energy
In addition, Indian Railways is working on acquiring Electrical Multiple Units (EMU) train sets for intercity journeys. The EMU train sets will have operating speeds ranging from 130-160 km/hour and the adoption of train sets technology was announced in this year’s railway budget. Indian Railways proposes to introduce modern EMU train sets for running premium Shatabdi and Rajdhani trains without any additional expenditure on existing track and signalling infrastructure.
The existing railway tracks on Rajdhani routes are fit for running trains up to a speed of 150 kmph, but the average speed of Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains is usually less than 90 kmph due to a large number of speed restrictions and the poor acceleration and deceleration characteristics of existing loco-haul trains. The EMU train sets will be free from these bottlenecks and provide faster and safer movement while substantially reducing run time. The plan is also in line with the international trend wherein most advanced countries in the world have progressively switched over its locomotive hauled conventional intercity trains to distributed powered EMU train sets.
The proposed EMU train sets can have up to 21 coaches. EMU train sets are highly energy efficient and aerodynamically light weight.
Some of the advantages of EMU train sets over conventional loco-hauled trains operating at similar speeds are:
EMU Train sets have very high acceleration and deceleration due to which it takes them much lesser time in negotiating speed restrictions and achieving maximum permissible speed. Thus it is possible to reduce the run time between Howrah and New Delhi by 2.5 to 3.0 hours by operating train sets at existing speed of 130 kmph without any additional expenditure on track and other infrastructure.
Modern train sets are eco-friendly, noiseless, consume 30% less energy, and do not pollute the environment as in case of conventional loco-hauled trains with diesel power cars.
Per passenger cost of EMU train sets is only marginally higher (at approximately Rs. 200 crore per train set of 21 cars) as compared to conventional loco-hauled trains for speeds up to 130 kmph/150 kmph and that too gets returned in less than 3 years owing to high rate of return due to substantial increase in revenue because of extra carrying capacity, better utilization and higher energy efficiency.

Delhi/NCR is getting A LOT of funds pumped into it. By 2025-30 the region will have multiple Metros and light rails not to mention freeways and expressways. The Delhi Metro will be put in the shade by the envisged plans!


India in 20+ years is going to be a completely different country!

 

[anyrandom]

After going through this thread i realized what does 8-10% growth for a decade means(infact even less,the boom started in 2003).

Now with India's economy slowing down i am a little bit worried , i hope that the socialist and the neo-ludites in the indian govt get over with their mania and actually start the reform process once again. India has reached the tipping point,the final spot where it could have reached after the wave of reforms in the BJP govt(1998-2004).

After NDA only a few big ticket reforms have happened and congress use the middle class tax payer money in so called poverty alleviation program like MNREGA which are actually meant to buy voters.

Hope the next wave of economic reforms start again so India can roar and take over the world.
