Good proposal .https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/ind...nufacture-export-bullet-train-coaches-1944458
Ambassador of Japan to India Kenji Hiramatsu said the discussions over manufacturing the Shinkansen coaches locally were going on.
India is building the country's first high-speed rail corridor between Mumbai to Ahmedabad.
FUKUOKA:
India has proposed to Japan that it is keen to manufacture and export bullet train coaches which could bring down the cost of operating the Shinkansen trains in the country, a senior official of the Indian Railways said today.
India is building the country's first high-speed rail corridor between Mumbai to Ahmedabad which is expected to be operational by 2022. Initially, India will buy 18 such Shinkansen trains from Japan for Rs. 7,000 crore.
"We have proposed to the Japanese side that they help us with the technology to make the bullet train coaches locally. Once we do that, we can build the coaches at a much lower cost. In fact they would be the cheapest in the world," Rajesh Agarwal, Member, Rolling Stock, Railway Board said on the sidelines of a conference in Fukuoka.
"Then we can take them across the world. Many countries would rather buy it from us rather than China. Be it countries in South-East Asia, even Europe and the USA," he added.
Mr Agarwal said the Modern Coach Factory in Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli is well equipped to produce the coaches. "Add to this around 150,000 skilled workers, 50 railway workshops and around six production units that railways has at it's disposal."
Ambassador of Japan to India Kenji Hiramatsu said the discussions over manufacturing the Shinkansen coaches locally were going on.
"The discussions on this are going on. I believe it's best to manufacture locally and we are seriously thinking about it," he said.
If the move works out, it will also open a new business opportunity for the state-owned organisation which is reeling under high operating costs.
"The idea is to get Japan to produce not just the rolling stock for railways in India but also other sectors like defence using our manufacturing units. That will be a big takeaway," said Mr Agarwal.
The 508-km long bullet train corridor in India will have 12 stations, with about 350-km of it in Gujarat and 150-km in Maharashtra.
The bullet trains, with 10 coaches each, will have one business class coach and nine standard coaches each.
The lowest fare is expected to be Rs. 250 and the maximum Rs. 3,000. Land acquisition is underway for the project.
There is no such thing as Chinese high speed train. They are all reverse engineered or license produced Japanese and European trains
See*
But why do you see this as "Indian frustration" ? Government and corporate offices are getting their flags from the approved makers, common people are getting them from the Chinese because they are cheap. Everybody is happy. The Chinese, the people and the government.
All we are trying to say is, yes indians can and do make Indian flags but they are expensive compared to the Chinese ones because they are better in quality and hence are used by guv and corporate offices.
Your friend said that we simply cannot make our own flags.
Got it my simple minded friend?
The biggest problem is India wants to snatch Japanese cakesIndians can use the same way, to ask the US to provide aircraft carrier technology, Indians are geniuses""Then we can take them across the world. Many countries would rather buy it from us rather than China. Be it countries in South-East Asia, even Europe and the USA," he added."
LOL, Indian had been making low quality, non-competitive products for decades, even with slave labor wage that's at 1/6 of Chinese labor wage. Yet, still no one wants their low quality cheap junk, LMAO.
Read watch and sulk .....If the Japanese agree to this their reputation will be fucked.
When they start to compare themselves with China, it shows theit inconfidence and i believe will fail because such mentality. Many countries in third world want to compare with China and say we will do better than China. All fail their projects and i can foresee it from beginning.
Even patrol boats of Australia navy (or something similar, just forgotten the name of boat) were recently built in Vietnam, so what? Some metro coaches made in India and exported, and you believe you can beat China?Read watch and sulk .....
India Ships First Batch Of 'Made In India' Metro Coaches To Australia
When a consignment of six metro coaches built in Baroda was shipped from Mumbai on Friday, it created history in the country's manufacturing sector.
The metro coaches, built for the Australian government, was the first of its kind India has ever exported.
The coaches, which measure 75 feet in length and weigh 46 tonnes each, were loaded in house by the Mumbai Port Trust.

Dude Indian government will buy locally produced handloom made superior quality flags even if you use alien technology to produce these fake copies, paying your workers in diamonds. And for the fake copies of Indian flag or any other fake item in the market, keep making them as it always feels good to keep someone employed.
Ever heard of the word "Globalization" ?
It's never advisable to waste such beautiful words in a fest of low life trolls.
Oh troll
Aircraft carrier tech is the same as bullet train tech?
I didn't know that the tech we got from alstrom and bombardier is also used in an aircraft carrier .
Yes you are too simple minded to engage in a discussion here. Seriously we do not want a troll to reply to us either
Is that why the Australian government ordered Indian made coaches or why ashok leyland has captured a majority stake in London's bus transportation market ? Hmmmm
I would suggest these people to use Chinese fakes.
I know Chinese trolls have comprehension issues that's why they keep on repeating the same thing like bots.
Again, for the last time, flags used in Offices are handloom made of superior quality. I can't even think of our government offices using cheap Chinese made flags. And nobody begs you, we pay you and like a good seller you sell it and if want to buy cheap stuff then we will be it Chinese or Somalian(because we value money) and if we want to buy quality stuff we will be it Japanese or Italian.
No Indian on this thread is bragging(just showing trolls their place) but barking of Chinese trolls is pretty evident over here.
You guys can make awesome cheap fakes we will keep buying your stuff if it's convenient ....Happy now ?
Now respect your customer like a good salesman and stop wasting my time.
You want to compare India with Vietnam .Even patrol boats of Australia navy (or something similar, just forgotten the name of boat) were recently built in Vietnam, so what? Some metro coaches made in India and exported, and you believe you can beat China?
I guess that big nose actually is a sh!t hole?That's one ugly train, what's the big nose for?
