    Delhi-Jaipur semi high-speed train can cut travel-time to 90 minutes!

    What's the story

    One of Indian Railways' many planned projects is a semi high-speed train between Delhi and Jaipur running at 200kmph.

    If it becomes a reality, the journey will take just 90 minutes.

    Presently, trains running at 80-90kmph complete the 309km journey in 5-8 hours.

    The ministry has already appointed an Italy-based company to conduct a feasibility study at its own cost.

    Railway Ministry planning Rs. 20L crore investment in modernization projects

    The Railway Ministry is on a major modernization drive. Last month, it announced 10,000km of new high-speed corridors which will allow overnight trains to run at speeds of 250kmph.

    Such corridors would be more beneficial for shorter routes like Mumbai-Pune, which can offer a better alternative to air travel.

    Railways is reportedly planning Rs. 20L crore investment for this and other modernization projects.

    Two such projects are in the works in Delhi. Railways would soon launch a semi-high speed project on the 245km Delhi-Chandigarh corridor, one of the busiest routes.

    Trains would run at a maximum speed of 200kmph, cutting travel time to only 2 hours.

    For the new Delhi-Jaipur train, the ministry has signed an MoU with Italian railway engineering company FS-Italferr for a feasibility study.

    It has asked North Western Railways (NWR) to nominate members for coordination and day-to-day interaction with the railway board, and to submit relevant data.

    A senior NWR officer said they are working on compiling the data. "It will be sent in 10 days."

    Projects

    Other projects Railways is focusing on

    Apart from high-speed projects, Minister Piyush Goyal has urged the railway board to work on cutting costs on construction.

    Some options being mulled are building single pillars, or two-track corridors over national highways.

    A major goal is to build new corridors on existing railway land.

    Railways plans to monetize assets to generate revenues for further work.
