Nooooo...dont do that because according to Kejriwal ji High speed rail wil cost a ticket of 75000rs per person one side.

I think all vendors should be invited. And they should be allowed to invest upon BOT basis. If the Chinese have poor quality of their products or if they are highly maintenancè intensive then they will be the ones to bear that cost. Also China does produce some quality products if the buyer is ready to pay the costs. And I am all for total opening of sector to anyone who is ready to invest in India. I am sure GoI will surely look into the experience and quality before allocating any route to a vendor
Nice. Chose the best, India !![]()
The odds favour the Japanese. Their trains will be far more expensive but come with a good safety record & far more importantly, will come with very attractive financial offers.
do we have the infrastructure to support it though?
Same could have been said about Metro rail project but it is successful. As long as HSR cater to high frequency routes like Delhi-Mumbai, it would be successful; if it is constructed for unviable route, it would run into red and fail.
Nope. Just another crazy harebrained idea. Not the time for us. Too expensive when we can't get the rest of the network working decently without accidents. These are just things that may serve as some aspirational showpieces at the most.
Imagine how India will be like in 5 years. When these trains are already in operation.
Are the Indian railways connected to Bangladesh's own railsystem ? Imagine when Bangladesh's Sonadia Deep Sea Port is built. This will connect the mountainous regions of India, China and Myanmar. Imagine the huge flow of trade in this region of the Subcontinent. A high speed rail connecting Calcutta to Chittagong and Dhaka region.
Wow!

1. China ain't an enemy.I will say however, if you can't do business with your enemy, your likelihood of success is not high.
Mumbai Ahemdabad.Quality matters and so do the depth of one's pocket!!. BTW India is a populous country, so the breaking even of the investment through low cost ticket even with high cost investment with good quality in the shortest time is high possibility.
Can some body tell which corridor is likely to break even at the shortest time?
Absolutely, that actually is the case, people prefer a HST against a flight in relatively short distance travel owing to lower point to point time taken. The fares need to a reasonable to make it even more attractive.People would prefer HSR over Airtravel, if travel time is less than 6-7 hour, ie at 200 Km/h, close to 1200-1400 Km
The concept of Bio toilets is being implemented in a lot of trains which allow discharge to take place only when train has reached a certain speed, thereby avoiding problems of hygiene at stations.ndian railway suffer from a problem of fecal matter discharge on it's platform while the train is stationary, not a problem of discharge in general.
what if the price of the ticket going far beyond that nomoral Indians could afford? China has huge landmass that we do have enough experice to build HSR on different geologic structure, which the Japanese lack of .The odds favour the Japanese. Their trains will be far more expensive but come with a good safety record & far more importantly, will come with very attractive financial offers.
China could help out in infrastructure setup, TOT of HSR could be considered as well.do we have the infrastructure to support it though?
