India to get its first bullet train: A look at bullet trains from around the world

[Bang Galore]

Completely agree.
The entire focus should have been on doubling of lines everywhere and make a dedicated freight network.

The second focus should have been modernizing the existing n/w to increase speed of passenger trains to over 160kmph which can be done on existing tracks.

It was a populist budget per me.

Not really, the bullet train bit is a sort of aspirational hanger for people to hang dreams on. The main work will come on the "mundane" things that you have cited.

Hope it is Japan, or maybe France or Germany, I am not ready to risk my life for any cheaper product.

India doesn't need Chinese 'investment' or Chinese money. India is a proud country, and India doesn't beg. China is not guaranteed to grant India loans even if asked nicely.

India has enough money in the Swiss banks to pay for all investments needed.

Modi-ji will do the needful...

Check again, it is China who is begging for opportunities to invest in India, and so far India has rejected Chinese offers. Get some info before posting crap.

Well nobody said about Indian Products and its a fact that Chinese products has a long way to go before catching up with the French, Germans or Japanese.

I believe a separate body will be set up for developing and handling bullet train infra and a another body will handle its operations, while still working under IR.
