Part of a vision of a diamond quadrilateral of bullet trains
The Government is keen on running India’s first
high-speed train (HST) between Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Prime Minister
Narendra Modi wants the train to be running by the end of 2017, said
sources in the Railway Ministry. Much ground work had already been done
for this section with the submission of a pre-feasibility report, which
has estimated the cost of a 543-km-long new track at Rs. 70,000 crores.
This HST will be part of Mr. Modi’s vision of a diamond quadrilateral of bullet trains between major metros.
