Only 100 crore rupees budget is passed for the bullet train. Estimated cost is 60,000 crore rupees.

Estimated by whom ?

Estimated by whom ?

10 billion is very logical estimate for such a project.

Hope it is Japan, or maybe France or Germany, I am not ready to risk my life for any cheaper product.

lol... its not like that.... china today is the leader in.hi speed train.technology... they have the largest bullet train running network... Chinese make both type of product... if u have money they will supply u best or if u don't ...they will supply u cheap product...

I didn't say anything about China. However, Chinese bullet trains still use Japanese equipment from companies like Hitachi for critical technologies, as far as I know, they are yet to copy that.

And I don't believe in that bold part, for good reasons, even Americans & Europeans had to face many issues, now, they had enough money to buy the best of.................!!

Yep, but use Chinese investments in less technology sensitive critical areas like building roads, flyovers (with Indian cement & TMT bars of course), ports, etc. Spare the bullet trains, and also IT & communication (for security)!!

And Japanese also have lots of money.

hmm.. yes thats what the plan is...
most of chinese invest will come in those sectors which are not sensitive... though bullet train is not that much sensitive issue... mainly i think chinese will be in manufacturing, sez, road, transport, trains, railways tracks , sewage management, water cleaning, flyovers, etc....
japs too have money but chinese are interested to invest a trillion dollars...
but japs won't invest that much, may be 600-700 billions at most...

Bullet trains are sensitive in terms of safety concerns, I just can't keep panicking during the entire journey!!

10 billion is very logical estimate for such a project.

you r right it is 11 billion project... but it will be shared with japan, gujarath gov. Maharashtra gov, High Speed Rail Corporation of India Limited (HSRC).

good news for India!
