Many things were wrong in the report but was expected after i watched the RRTS video(which also had some things wrong). at 0:12 you can clearly see a green train written Pakistan railways. Though the progress is actually great since last 2yrs, yes it could have gotten completed before 2026 now it will take 2027/2028, so what? this is our first HSR route, we will get comfortable slowly with building it like we are now with Subways. *Fact: India has metros/subways in 15 cities with 568km(15+ cities) under construction* *Democracy in a nutshell everything is slow in democratic countries, same with Cali's HSR.* Tho i will stand by my statement that as you showed in the video HSR project ain't that slow, Indonesian HSR had just 110km length which they started in 2017, India's project length is 508.09km started in 2019, a very sloppy intro too by B1M.

China and especially Japan built their own railways based on what they know they need with routes serving their major population centres. India's railway was built by the British to link resource centres with factories and ports, completely ignoring civilian train networks. Since 1947 India has had to readapt this rail system based on resource and wealth extraction to serve them and their people instead of an extractive foreign power. This definitely makes it harder for them but it is good to see it is going well.

Good video. Being an Indian and having traveled across Europe in HS rail, I would say this project is of absolute necessity to elevate the economy to the next level. Today, the middle class in India travel mostly through flights, thanks to govt schemes like UDAN and airlines like Indigo which have brought people out of victorian rail system. So, when the HS rail network is up and running, we will have plenty of takers for it, don't forget that both Gujarat and Maharashtra have enormously wealthy and tenacious individuals who would love to travel in bullet trains. As regards to the delay in construction, it must be attributed to our judicial system which is slow and often populist. But we are developing and we will have a full HSR network by 2040.

@@RobespierreThePoof I disagree with this notion that somehow huge population is reason for slow development. It's not. China had the largest population for the majority of 20th and 21st century and their population was not a problem for development. The problem in India has always been political will. Anything can be done with enough political will. US has literally fought wars on lies and made trillions out of it only because they had political will to do so. Only recently in India do we have a government that has enough political will to get over all the division that was created in the country for the last 75 years and actually work on some real problems. I mean just look at this very project. Land acquisition had been a long problem under Uddhav Government but as soon as Eknath came into the power, all the problems were sorted. The Mumbai Costal Road that was always in debate has gained significant traction and is progressing rapidly. Indians are aspirational and anything that helps them move in the direction that they aspire to be is welcomed with open arms by the vast majority of the people. The recent developments and achievements of India are all indicative of it. The Indian economy that was in the "Fragile 5" is one of the most resilient economies amid the Pandemic and the War.

Of course, just like the country of India, there are several layers in the railway system too and it's impossible to bring changes to everything at once.....just changing one layer is equal to an overhaul of a mid size country....but all you keep showing is the mumbai locals...because it suits the image that matches with the perception when you hear India as a foreigner.

We have already seen an increase in the number of initiatives being implemented for improving current systems. I hope these projects bear fruit in the future, and people from all walks of life benefit from them.

If India (Bharat) can build an high-speed railway of scale similar to China over the next few decades they will set themselves up for generations. I partially agree that investing in conventional rail will benefit a greater proportion of the population now, but investing in this technology now will cause a snowball effect as it will stimulate domestic industry and talent. This is magnified by their population that will peak at 1.8 billion in the coming years, all of whom in the future will require fast transportation around the country. Good luck from Australia

On my last visit to India in 2015 I could reserve my ticket online before arriving in India, get on at the right carriage that stopped at the right place on the platform, enjoy clean and functioning interiors with working USB charger points. There was no overcrowding and I could show my eTicket on my phone to the ticket inspector. Oh and the train was on time. There are also AC first class carriages.

The recent tragic accident notwithstanding, I found the overarching narrative in this video out of date. India’s railways are more electrified than European, East Asian and North American ones. This is a major factor driving better efficiency. Unmanned level crossings, a key factor driving accidents, have been reduced drastically. Trains in India are not as luxurious as those in wealthier regions, but they are extremely affordable. Everyday you have multiple options to travel from Mumbai to Delhi for $7 (1400km). For contrast, the cheapest flight is $50.

> India’s railways are more electrified than European, East Asian and North American ones. It's great to see India progress but consider the following. India's rail network length per square km, let alone per capita is pretty low compared to Japan or Western Europe, despite comparable numbers of passenger-kilometers per capita. Electrification only makes sense for well used lines. So % of rail network electrified might not mean as much as you think. Statistically India has not yet built out the deep rail network coverage that other big rail use countries partially chose not to electrify to avoid wasting money.

India and China also have over a 1b people. E.g. India has about 5 times more electrified rail km than France but 20 times the population. On the other hand, India's economic output per capita is only about 15% of France's. So India's rail network is still pretty good, compared to it's economic development level and I am sure it will continue to improve and will eventually reach rich country levels.

A lot of the complaints about prioritizing high-speed trains over the "regular" train network is non-sense. Both Japan and Spain which have very successful train networks had to build completely new tracks as well. Simply upgrading existing tracks won't do on the busiest corridors and will lead to frequent train disruptions during upgrade work (that can last for years) while still costing as much money as building new ones.

Electrification of the rail lines - 91% of the world's fourth largest and second-most dense railway system, i.e. Indian railways, have been electrified. To put into perspective, China is at 80%, and the Swiss are at 70%. 2. Indigenous Semi High Speed Rail - Under the Atmanirbhar Bhaarat (Self-reliant India) Initiaitve, the government of India has STOPPED importing anything for the construction of a Semi High Speed train, called the Vande Bhaarat Express. It is an engine-less train which has the quickest acceleration and deceleration mechanisms in the world. Practically, the prices are almost the same, with automations and safety being the most important aspects of the same. 3. KaVach - This is another indigenous technology, that works as an anti collision braking system that most of the train engines in India are now equipped with. I agreee with the lack of safety mechanisms in the railways, but the number of accidents and mishaps have reduced drastically in the last 10 years. 4. Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs) - The government of India is also building Dedicated corridors for the movement of goods and freight trains all across the country, and a few sections of the North-South Freight Corridor are already operational. They have even introduced triple decker container trains, the collective tonnage of whom is the driving factor behind planning the tracks' capacities. 5. Semi High Speed Rail - The government is not one-dimensionally focussed on building a high-speed rail, while ignoring the middle steps. To connect the cities of Delhi and Meerut in the National Capital Region, there is a semi-high speed rail planned, and is almost operational, with the trial runs in progress right now (you have a video on the same as well). Again, from the concrete used and the steel produced, to the coaches under construction and the technologies implemented, everything has been developed by and in India. This model of connecting the cities has proven efficient in most of the areas, and is hence being replicated raplidly in other states of the country. 6. The Metro Rail - Not exclusively a part of the Indian Railways, a lot of the shots showed in this video showed over-crowded trains with people hanging off the open doors. Although I do not deny its existence (of course not), an important distinction needs to be highlighted here. These shots are of the local trains of Mumbai, that the commuters take everyday to travel shorter distances. Again, that does not exclusively operate under Indian railways, and hence talking about the metro systems is also important. India now has 25+ cities (as compared to 4 in 2014) with operational metro lines, with 50 more cities with under construction lines. Talking specifically about Mumbai, there are 2 newly-opened lines, while 8 more metro lines under construction. The local trains are also being upgraded, but ofcourse it will take time, no denial there. 7. The Railway Stations - 190 railway stations of the major cities are being renovated from scratch, and 300 more are in the planning stages. For your reference, look at the Rani Kamlapati Railway Station, and the Bangaluru Railway Station and the Gandhinagar Railway Station, to understand what the new stations are looking like. This upgradation has been undertaken simulataneous to all the other important undertaking of Indian Railways. 8. Reduced Dependancy on Locomotive Engines - While the locomotive engines still make up a majority of the functionalities of Indian Railways, the government has explored many other areas. Solar engines are a heading that they are working towards, but apart from that, there are ethanol fuel engines for light rail commute already being discussed and prototyped. 9. Cleanliness - Although there is a lack of civic sense among passengers when it comes to public transport, the Indian railways have streamlined their actions when it comes to cleanliness of the stations and the trains. The train compartments are cleaned after every commute, and again, indegenous technology for cleaning have already been implemented across 400 stations in the country. 10. Infrastructure and expansion to challenging terrains - India is home to some of the World's most challenging terrains. From the peaks of Himlayas to the sand dunes of Thar Desert, the Indian railways are constantly expanding and upgrading, connecting remote towns and villages with the rest of the country. Just to mention one of the many facts, India has created a world record in constructing the world's highest arched bridge in Kashmir (an area in the foothills of the himalayas), which happens to be a lot taller than the Eiffel Tower. 11. There are a number of other areas with drastic improvements in the related areas of E-ticketing, sustainable development, on-board services and vastly improved punctuality, which has turned the Indian Railways into one of the most profitable government sectors in the past 5 years. Hence, given the foresightedness, a bullet train was proposed back in 2014-15, while the other areas of Indian Railways were simultaneously upgraded. I do not deny the issues highlighted in the video at all, but they seem to reflect only one side of a much more complex story. To someone who has not visited India ever (or since a long time), this video may come off as showing the Indian railways and the different governments, in a bad light. Let's not do that.

The term "indigenous" seems odd to me, as if it would have been translated from a foreign language. I'd prefer "domestic" instead.

Many Asian countries are densely populated with cities closer to each other which brings high demands for short-mid range traveling, making HSRs more important.
