India’s first Bullet Train set to operate from Mumbai to…, each coach costs worth Rs 280000000, Railway Ministry says…

New Delhi: The Bullet Train project is believed to be many of the ambitious projects of the Modi government, and now, after the massive victory in Maharashtra, the project is susceptible to get momentum. The Railway Ministry is planning to domestically manufacture high-speed trains. Based on a Times of India report citing officials, Indian Railways aims to accelerate the a lot-anticipated initiative.

The report in the same way adds that the project should be developed using the existing Vande Bharat platform. Its corridors will feature advanced signalling systems that integrate some of essentially the most up-to-date automatic train protection technology, the Kavach 5.zero.

“Work on the bullet train corridor in Maharashtra picked up percent after the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government took charge. Entire land acquisition is complete, and over 320 kilometres of the physical infrastructure work is prepared,” an official told TOI.

The Railway officials have stressed out that India is prepared to look after and expand the project independently. “India is now capable to single-handedly take up this project in more corridors. We should always have our own trains in future corridors as well,” the official added.

A second official highlighted India’s ambitions, pointing out, “India desires to change into fully capable of creating bullet trains that can touch speeds of up to 280 kilometres per hour (kmph) and average at 250 kmph operational speed.” On the alternative hand, developing key components like power trains and train bodies is expected to take around three years, despite incremental improvements in suspension systems.

Addressing concerns about Japan’s Shinkansen suppliers, a senior official clarified, “We aim to keep up Japanese collaboration. Negotiations are ongoing for the provision deal for contemporary trains set to function on the MAHSR corridor.”
