Unbelievable. This is how Congress garners votes in India. They're comparing the literacy rates of 2004 to 2011 and saying that UPA is better.

How dumb can Indians be, honestly.

@fsayed ,please tell me more about Delhi-Amritsar-Kolkata corridor........

e government today approved the Amritsar-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (AKIC) project, which seeks to boost the manufacturing sector in the country.

The project was proposed to be developed in a band of 150- 200 km on either side of Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor in a phased manner.

The project is the second of its kind on the lines of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. It will be spread across 20 cities in seven states -- Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

A financial indicative commitment of about Rs 5,600 crore, spread over 15 years, by way of budgetary support from the central government has been estimated in the first pilot phase for setting up seven IMCs in the AKIC, it said.

"Phase-1 will be in the nature of a pilot project, during which at least one Integrated Manufacturing Cluster (IMC) of 10 square km each, in each of the seven states would be set up, as identified by state governments," an official statement said, adding, the Cabinet also approved setting up of AKIC Development Corporation (AKICDC).

The states would however, it said, be free to set up more than one IMC, if they choose to do so.

"Uttarakhand, being a hill state would be given flexibility with regard to the size of the cluster. Both brownfield as well as greenfield IMCs can be set up," it said.

About 40 per cent of the land in each cluster will be permanently earmarked for manufacturing and agro-processing, considering that substantial part of the area in these states, except Jharkhand, is under agriculture.

The clusters envisaged under the project would be entitled to all the benefits available under the National Manufacturing Policy (NMP) 2011.

It also said that for infrastructure development, a PPP mode would be encouraged.

"While viability gap funding would be available for infrastructure amenable to PPP, trunk infrastructure not amenable to PPP will be developed through grant-in-aid from the central government," the statement said.

Further, the government will provide interest subsidy to states for land acquisition, grant-in-aid for project development and master planning of clusters, set up AKICDC, provide external connectivity and all benefits under NMP.

Next minute they'll be taking credit for the DMIC too.

When the chairman of the organisation has credited the opposition ruled states of being on top of their game.

The proposed Bullet Train(High speed Rail) Network in India
History

One of the first proposals to intorduce high-speed trains in India was mooted in the mid-1980s by then Railway Minister Madhavrao Scindia. A high speed rail line between Delhi and Kanpur via Agra was proposed. An internal study found the proposal unviable at that time due to the high cost of construction and inability of travelling passengers to bear much higher fares than what was for normal trains. The Railways instead introduced Shatabdi trains which ran at 130 km/h.

The Indian Ministry of Railways' white-paper Vision 2020 submitted to Indian Parliament on December 18, 2009 envisages the implementation of regional high-speed rail projects to provide services at 250–350 km/h, and planning for corridors connecting commercial, tourist and pilgrimage hubs. Six corridors have already been identified for technical studies on setting up of high-speed rail corridors: Delhi-Chandigarh-Amritsar, Pune-Mumbai-Ahmedabad, Hyderabad-Dornakal-Vijayawada-Chennai, Howrah-Haldia,Chennai-Bangalore-Coimbatore-Trivandrum, Delhi-Agra-Lucknow-Varanasi-Patna. These high-speed rail corridors will be built as elevated corridors in keeping with the pattern of habitation and the constraint of land.

Indian Railway set up a corporation called High Speed Rail Corporation of India Ltd (HSRC) on 25 July 2012, that will exclusively deal with the proposed ambitious high speed rail corridor projects. The corporation is a subsidiary of Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. (RVNL). It will handle tendering, pre-feasibility studies, awarding contracts and execution of the projects. The corporation will comprise of four members, all of whom will be railway officials. All high-speed rail lines will be implemented through PPP mode on n a Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis.

Cost

In a feasibility study published in 1987, RDSO and JICA estimated the construction cost to be Rs 49 million per km, for a line dedicated to 250–300 km/h trains. In 2010, that 1987-estimated cost, inflated at 10% a year, would be Rs 439 million per km (US$ 9.5 million/km). RITES is currently performing a feasibility study. It is being estimated that dedicated high speed corridor will cost about

100 crore per km.

According to news media, the costs for constructing such rail lines in India are estimated to be Rs 700-1000 million per km (US$ 15-22 million/km). Therefore the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route of 500 km, will cost Rs 370 billion (US$ 8.04 billion) to build and to make a profit, passengers will have to be charged Rs 5 per km (US$ 0.11/km). Ambattur to thoraipakkam one-way, a distance of 50 km, will cost about Rs 2000 (US$ 43.48). At US$ 15-22 million per km, cost estimates are in line with US$ 18 million per km of the recently completedWu-Guang HSR line in China.

Routes

Potential High Speed Rail lines

In India, trains in the future with speed of 250–350 km/h, are envisaged to run on elevated corridors, to prevent trespassing by animals and people. This is an excellent way to isolate high-speed train tracks. The TGV tracks are completely fenced in and has no road crossing them at the same level. Wu-Guang’s 2-tracks line is laid, 468 km on bridges, 177 km in tunnels, and 323 km on embankments. The 336 kmTHSR tracks are 91% on bridges, flyover, or tunnels.

The current conventional lines between Amritsar-New Delhi, and Ahmedabad-Mumbai runs through suburban and rural areas, which are flat, therefore have no tunnel. Ahmedabad-Mumbai line runs near the coast therefore have more bridges, and parts of it are in backwaters or forest. The 1987 RDSO/JICA feasibility study found the Mumbai-Ahmedabad line as most promising.

Maharashtra state government has proposed a link between Mumbai and Nagpur which will be good for development of the state railway. This project's cost is estimated

60,000 crore. The government also wants a corridor which will connect to Navi Mumbai International Airport.

Potential ridership

As of July 2010, there are currently 49 train services on the 968 km Wuhan-Guangzhou HSR line in China, with fares from US$ 70-115 (Rs 3220-5290), or US$ 0.07-0.12 per km (Rs 3.33-5.46/km). Amritsar-New Delhi line has 22 daily services, with fares range from Rs 552-1434 (US$ 12-31). Ahmedabad-Mumbai has 32 daily services with fares from Rs 514-1475 (US$ 11-32). On the 2 Indian lines travelling cost Rs 1.14-3.19 per km (US$ 0.025-0.069/km).



Project execution

A separate entity, High Speed Rail Authority of India (HSRA), has been set up to operationalise bullet trains in the country as part of 12th Five Year Plan (2012–17).

To put the construction in perspective, in the period 2005-09 Indian Railways took on construction of 42 completely new conventional lines, a total of 4060 km at a cost of Rs 167 billion (US$ 3.63 billion), or Rs 41 million per km (US$ 0.89 million/km). A public-private-partnership mode of investment and execution is envisaged for such expensive 250–350 km/h high-speed rail project.

Feasibility studies

The consultants for pre-feasibility study for four corridors are:

· Systra, Italferr and RITES Limited for Pune – Mumbai – Ahmedabad,

· British firm Mott MacDonald for Delhi-Agra-Lucknow-Varanasi-Patna

· INECO, PROINTEC, Ayesa for Howrah-Haldia

· Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and Oriental Consultancy along with Parsons Brinckerhoff India for Hyderabad-Dornakal-Vijaywada-Chennai

The state governments are ready to meet 50% cost of the consultancy. While Japan has shown interest in India's high speed train, it is funding 80% of the cost of construction of the 1,499 km-long Western Dedicated Freight Corridor

On 21 March 2011, the British firm Mott MacDonald was asked to conduct a pre-feasibility study on the 993 km long Delhi-Agra-Lucknow-Varanasi-Patna route. It cost the Railways

8.8 crore for the report.

The Indian Railways gave the go ahead for conducting a feasibility study on the Chennai-Bangalore-Coimbatore-Kochi route. There was a plan to either include Mysore in the main route or to create a branch line to that city. With the Railways’ move, the Karnataka State government decided not to commission a separate feasibility study on implementing a high-speed train between Bangalore and Mysore. The pre-feasibility study will be tabled in Parliament and the final feasibility study will begin in April 2012.

During the 2012 Rail Budget speech, Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi announced that pre-feasibility studies on the Ahmedabad-Mumbai-Pune, Delhi-Agra-Lucknow-Varanasi-Patna, Howrah-Haldia, Hyderabad-Dornakal-Vijaywada-Chennai and the Chennai-Bangalore-Coimbatore-Kochi high-speed corridors have already been completed and study on Delhi-Jaipur-Ajmer-Jodhpur route will be taken up in 2012-13.

Now this is just patently false.

Everybody and their mother knows that the NDA inherited 4% growth and left office with 8% with fiscal surplus and trade surplus. The UPA1 took advantage of the immensely good governance in the NDA admin and after the fiscal mis management managed to reduced it to 3.2% in 2012-2013.

Guys this is exactly why India has remained a poverty stricken backwards country while countries like South Korea and China have marched ahead.
