read full article... Indian Railways to produce 'Vande Bharat Bullet Train' at 250 kmph this year; check details

India plans to manufacture its first bullet trains capable of reaching 250 kmph. These trains will operate on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail corridor and are likely to be based on the Vande Bharat platform. The Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai has been tasked with producing two 8-car bullet trains...

by the end of the current fiscal year. This decision follows unsuccessful price negotiations with Japanese suppliers. Despite the challenge of meeting this timeline, experts believe ICF can achieve the target within three to four years. The Japanese consortium of Hitachi and Kawasaki, while willing to supply 'Shinkansen' train sets, faced resistance from Indian Railways due to escalating costs. The bullet train project has faced delays, primarily due to land acquisition issues. The current top speed of Vande Bharat trains is 180 kmph, but the new bullet trains will be capable of reaching 220 kmph with a maximum speed of 250 kmph.

India aapna pehla bullet train banaane wala hai, jo 250 kmph ki speed tak jaa sakta hai. Ye trains Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail corridor pe chalenge aur shayad Vande Bharat platform pe based honge. Chennai ka Integral Coach Factory (ICF) ko is saal ke end tak do 8-car bullet trains banane...

ka kaam diya gaya hai. Ye faisla Japanese suppliers se price negotiations fail hone ke baad liya gaya hai. Is deadline ko meet karna mushkil hai, lekin experts ka maanana hai ki ICF isko three to four saal mein kar sakta hai. Hitachi and Kawasaki ka Japanese consortium, 'Shinkansen' train sets supply karne ko taiyaar tha, lekin badhte hue cost ke karan Indian Railways ne unse deal karne se mana kar diya. Bullet train project mein kaafi der ho chuki hai, iska main reason Maharashtra mein land acquisition ki problem hai. Vande Bharat trains ki current top speed 180 kmph hai, lekin new bullet trains 220 kmph ki speed tak jaa sakenge, aur unki maximum speed 250 kmph hogi.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
