द स्पीड ऑफ द ट्रेन सिटी किलोमीटर पर आर इट इज इनक्रीस टू वन 30 किलोमीटर फाइंड द परसेंटेज इंक्रीज​

Answer 1

Answer:

India does not currently have any railway lines with trains operating at internationally defined standards of high speed (exceeding 250 km/h).[1] The fastest train at present is the Vande Bharat (Train 18) with operation speeds of up to 180 km/h, though the fastest service is Gatimaan Express with an operational speed of 160 km/h (99 mph) and average speed of 113 km/h (70 mph) on the Delhi-Agra section, since the routes used by Train 18 are capped at 130 km/h for safety reasons.[2][3]

A new 500 km high speed railway is currently under construction between Mumbai and the western city of Ahmedabad at a top speed of 320 km/h (200 mph).[4][5] It will be built in standard gauge using Shinkansen technology. Japan will cover 80% of the ₹98,000 crore (equivalent to ₹1.1 trillion or US$16 billion in 2019) project cost through a soft loan.[6] It is expected to carry passengers between the two cities in just three hours and ticket prices are expected to be cheaper than air planes i.e. ₹2,500-₹3,000. Completion is targeted in 2022-2023.[7]

At the 2014 general elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had voiced its desire to build the Diamond Quadrilateral high speed rail project, which would connect the cities of Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai via high-speed rail.[8] This project was approved as a priority for the new government in the incoming president's speech.[9] Construction of one kilometre of high speed railway track will cost ₹100 crore (US$14 million) - ₹140 crore (US$20 million) which is 10-14 times higher than the cost of construction of standard railway.[10]

India will have two types of gauges for high speed rail. The new high-speed rail lines with Japanese technology will be in standard gauge, whereas older tracks upgraded to high-speed rail standard will be in Indian broad gauge. For this reason, there will be no interchangeability between newly laid tracks and the older-upgraded tracks for passenger and cargo traffic.
