India establishes High-Speed Rail Corporation

INDIAN Railways Minister Mr Mallikarjun Kharge announced on October 29 that the country has established a High Speed Rail Corporation (HSRC) to prepare financial and implementation models, including the preparation of project-related studies and development of technical standards, for high-speed rail in India.

High-speed rail has been under discussion in India for the last 17 years, but appeared to take the first concrete step forward earlier this month, with the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Indian Railways and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for a feasibility study into the construction of a 540km high-speed line between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

A preliminary study carried out by consortium of Rites, Italferr, and Systra, estimated the cost of the project at Rs 700bn ($US 13.2bn).

"High speed plans are very much on the fast track now," says HSRC chairman Mr Satish Agnihotri, who also chairs IR's project unit Rail Vikas Nigam, the parent company of HSRC.

IR plans to set up a High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) as a regulatory body which will supervise administrative, institutional, and financial issues. "The HSRA will be set up shortly," Railway Board chairman Mr Arunendra Kumar confirms.

IR is also working on plans to strengthen and upgrade track and signalling systems to increase speeds for long-distance passenger trains from 120km/h to 160-200km/h. A Japanese-sponsored study is being carried out to look at the possibility of running Rajdhani trains at up to 200km/h between Delhi and Mumbai.

India's high-speed plans are likely to gain momentum after the forthcoming general election, which will be held in May 2014.

Now we have to wait for those chi bots to come to this thread and rant, burn, cry and what not :D.

Hmmm, I don't quite understand this. The Chinese have the largest HSR network in the world, bigger than the rest of the world put together and they are supposed to rant, cry and burn because India has been planning to build an HSR network for almost 20 years, without knowing when this will ever be realized and where the money should come from. That sounds pretty crazy to me.
 
Nice map of 2525.

^^wet dreams

They do make fun of you guys as I do as well, it's like we in Europe make fun of developing countries. There is nothing for us to burn, rant or cry.

The rich and powerful do what they want and the poor and weak have to suffer what they must.
 
I don't want to be the party popper but has some one seen the condition of the Railway stations if National Capital
If yes

They should work on improving that not Building HSR
 
If you don't understand this then you can move from this thread, why rant??
Who cares if china has more than 10000 km of non performing loss incurred HSR.

How am I ranting? All I do is making some jokes and have some fun with you guys.

Most public transportation in the world are making loss, in fact the majority of public transportation don't make money at all. My city has to subsidize millions per annum to run the public transportation system and it's still bloody expensive to ride from one end of the city to the other end (2.90 €).

So, we do care and marvel at the scale of China's HSR. I just love their super-cool stations and the fab architecture. :smitten:

There is a difference between pathetic trolling and the so called "making fun"; they come up their own set of facts and observations and hardly have any faith in the positive reports published by the news agencies concerning the similar advancements. Every such thread started is unexpectedly derailed to their "feel good" topics such as poverty and malnutrition in India and blah blah blah. They should express their views in a decent manner. Ranting all around wont make any sense here.

#But on a personal note I don't really care about those pathetic trolls coming up and derailing the thread - neither we should do so....
