Japan poised to win India's bullet train deal: Nikke

[JohnyD]

TOKYO: Japan is expected to win the right to construct India's first bullet train, after losing an Indonesian high-speed rail deal to China, the Nikkei business daily reported on Tuesday.

Japan will offer more than 1 trillion yen ($8.11 billion) in loans to construct India's 980 billion rupee fast train, according to the report.

Japan recently lost the bid to build Indonesia's first fast-train because Beijing provided a $5 billion loan without guarantees.



Tokyo was picked to assess the feasibility of building the 505km (313 miles) corridor linking Mumbai with Ahmedabad, the commercial capital of Modi's home state, and concluded it would be technically and financially viable.

Construction of the high-speed railway link will start from 2017 and will be completed in 2023, the Nikkei reported.

Train will be economically feasible where economic activity is high. it should have been between pune/delhi to mumbai or bangalore to chennai/hyderabad.

What a preplanned disaster.

Indians are inferior beings. Such projects are not meant for inferior people like Indians. Indians should be happy with their slow shitty railways that they have.

Which state,NY ?

Your views on this?

It will be the world's first broad gauge HSR or will it be SG?

Japanese have done a financial viability study so I am not concerned about the economics.

We also have planned HSR in Pakistan. Maybe we will have it before you guys.

Yeah like that supposed tallest skyscraper in Karachi that never happened. So many "plans" in Pakistan....still growing at below 5% and facing a severe energy and investment crunch.

standard gauge. all HST systems are highly standardized today and owing to the fact that high speed dynamic and safety systems will require drastic bit of change (thereby increase capital cost), the proposed trains are all Standard gauge.

Like you are happy with your shitty railway with Chinese engine which failed in its first trial. We have the trains running at 200 KMPH already.

what i have heard is that initial capital cost is INR 85,000 crores for Mumbai Ahemdabad line. (JICA study).
therefore even if Japan extends soft loan, it is more important to see what reports on return of investment say.

Temporary hurdles, with Chinese help we will overcome that soon.

It was in the past. Modern Chinese technology is equal to or even more advanced than Japanese donation you all are getting.

 

[Nilgiri]

By the way, which model is Japan donating to beggar India? Is it the 0 series? I think inferior Indians should be happy with that.

Has one brick been moved regarding Lahore Metro rail?

The big fat zeros regarding modern rail travel are in your country .
