Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail aims to cut travel time by up to two-thirds

The project, which was approved in 2014, faced several setbacks.

[@Boldtruths]

People who are comparing Indian Bullet train project with Indonesia... Must Understand... In Indonesia Chinese workers and Chinese machines are doing the majority of work with Indonesian workers. **But in India L and T(an Indian company) is doing the construction.** **Electrical overhead wiring work will also be done by L and T** Machines are also built and operated by Indian engineers. Only Chief engineer comes once a while from Japan to see progress and modifications. **So technically India is learning how to make bullet train project** **Just like we learned how to make world class Metro infrastructure** And also JAPAN'S bullet trains are safest and best in the world. "So asking for help again n again in future from Japan is not what India is thinking." That's why it is taking time. Additional info -- Indonesia's route length is 142 km with 4 stations. **India's route length is 508 km (476 km elevated on pillars, including 21 km undersea tunnel) with 12 stations.** "Also, Undersea tunnel will be made by AFCONS which is also an Indian Company. So, it will take time. *Source-Wikipedia.

Afcon is the French company. Google it.

lndonesian bullet train project finished on schedule and now is in full operation, but how many times has the lndian project been delayed and can it finish before 2100? 😅 No one should ever employ lndian construction company

and they are building it very fast. of course europe/us has other standards as well as high environmental hurdles, but high speed rail takes for ever in these countries.

[@udhayakumarMN]

But Time is money

[@moonbalancedd]

Missing key details: It's the shinkansen bullet train being built from Japan which has an impeccable record at 320kmph. Japan is also financing 90% of the costs as a 0.1% interest 50 year loan with a 15 year moratorium at the start. Practically free transfer of technology and project.

[@daipayanbhowal8914]

Japan is financing but majority of technology is being developed in-house by L&T even new construction methods and also Vande Bharat based Bullet trains will made by RCF & BEML

[@moonbalancedd]

@daipayanbhowal8914 that is correct. Manufacturing is local, only technological expertise is obtained. Which is crucial because bullet train is a completely different challenge than even vande bharat trains. The smallest of things like vibrations and movement of the tracks, inclination, declination, curve, air pressure is strictly controlled. The tracks are specially constructed. India does not yet know how to do this but learning from Japan which has perfected this, it will make it's own in house bullet trains in the future.

[@minalkumari9556]

No bro, its 108000 crore and japan is giving about 80000 crore rest by states and centre ​@@wretfsfvd

[@xcel5203]

Japanese bullet train technology is the costliest; it has not been used anywhere else. As for cost the Japanese are in it for profits and are not doing a social service. As for technology they will never transfer the most sophisticated proprietary technology to any other country ; you're kidding yourself if you believe it .

India need to step up in the high speed railsconstruction，10 years for 500 kilometer high speed rail is too slow， China has already had 45000 kilometer high speed rail With current speed they need at least 1000 years to catch up with China

[@bismayparida2115]

There are other routes coming after this.... It is not the only HSR route

[@RoRZoro]

Why are these Indonesians coming here and are bashing Japan and India while praising China? Don't compare the 500+ KM rail with the 140 KM Indonatian HSR. Indonesia just opened a small part of their HSR and is mocking India for "slow construction". If you want to compare, then compare it with the full 600 Km section up to Surabaiya or at least up to Madiun. It will take decades for Indonesia to finish it up to Surabaiya while India will run 500+ KM in the next 2 or 3 years.

These project take time to implement. Modi is taking credit for things he has not done. What exactly have the BJP Govt done in Karnataka since they took power? Did they improve the infrastructure? No. Did they improve sanitation? No. Did they cut down on corruption? No. All they did was raise electricity prices. Thank goodness for Congress who has made bus travel and electricity free.

India has got the worst road accident rate in the world. Biggest rail system but again terrible safety record with accidents taking place regularly . Politicians only brag about GDP without talking about standard of living ; consequently millions of Indians are deserting the country and going to USA,UK,EU etc. PM loves visiting foreign countries and giving "Jadu ka Jappi " to everyone but not giving same treatment to poor Indian citizens . Bullet train is only for PM's friends in the state while ordinary Indian citizens have to travel in terrible conditions . 2,00,000 crores is wasted on one sector while rest of India doesn't have basic infrastructure for rail travel .

@@KishanKumar-qz1kt check the ticket price of Shinkansen for 500 kms (Tokyo to Osaka). It's the same distance from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. Next, for the sake of the argument let's say the ticket will be half the cost ( even though it won't coz Japan already recovered their investment on capital a long time ago and we haven't even started). I've traveled by Shinkansen in Japan for 1 month. Even normal Japanese people don't use it there. It's extremely expensive even for Japanese standards. Only Japanese businessmen use it. Next , who will pay 5,000 for a Bullet train when flights are available for 2-3K. Nothing about this project makes any sense other than that Modi has been friends with Shinzo. It will eventually run in losses = public of India will be subsiding travel for a fraction of one percent of the population. If you are thinking that it will be used as a local train and 100 million potential ridership, you're dreaming. It will be a white elephant. Mark my words.

Japanese bullet trains are the costliest trains- why wasn't a tender floated in the first case ? The travel costs too will be high ; ordinary people will find it difficult to afford it . The trains operating in other sectors going to the north and east are overcrowded, in terrible shape and in dirty condition . Why aren't these trains improved ? Ahmedabad and Mumbai are connected by plenty of buses, trains and flights ; there is absolutely no necessity of a bullet train on this sector except for local prestige . Indian railways safety record is abysmal ; instead of investing in vanity projects they should first invest in latest safety equipment.

[@henrystevens3993]

Which ordinary people will find difficult to travel and expensive?? Here the flight cost between AHD and Mumbai is 5k, if a train is running in 4k and reaching faster automatically people will opt for bullet train. Plus both the cities and the states are high income. So your claims are baseless. And yes Japanese trains are expensive but they are also transferring most of the technologies unlike cheaper Chinese counterparts. So it's mostly one time expense. Again your claims are baseless
