Bullet Train a Economical corridor, the structure which change the future of INDIA
The word Bullet train sound like an interesting topic for the engineers, working professionals, it also shows the working methodology of the country who wants to create their future bright and showing its development nature to the world. As we know that India is a poor country, the literacy rate in our country is very low. At the time of independence, the railway network as a REGIEME, we get it mainly from the British Empire. As the time passes, now we stand at the year 2026 and in upcoming 15th August 2026 we will celebrate our 79th independence.
In this past 80 years we reached from steam engine era to electrical engine era in Railways network, and we are proud of it. But when we compared to other developing nation such as Japan and U.S.A as well as china, the compression shows that how we are at far from them.
For example China and Japan are almost covering 75 to 80% of their rail network from bullet train work, which also shows the developing capacity of the country.
BULLET TRAIN IN INDIA -:
In India the Bullet train Project work are in the starting Phase, The first project of India is from Ahmadabad (Gujarat) to Mumbai (Maharashtra). Bullet train is connecting the two economical hub and metro cities of India. As I use the word economy what we are understand, it means the lifestyle of the people will change such as High standard living, shopping, investing, traveling everything will change ,and we are also working on smart cities project work in all over India and in future we will inter connecting them with each other with the help of bullet train.
The upcoming corridors of India are as follow-
1. Delhi – Mumbai.
2. Bangalore –Chennai.
3. Calcutta – Varanasi.
4. Hyderabad – Chennai.
5. Delhi – Chandigarh.
And many more, will definitely boost the economy in form of to create more Jobs, Infrastructure, and etc.
TECHNOLOGY USED IN BULLET TRAIN IN INDIA -:
In India, a Railways network we use the Broad Gauge, Meter Gauge and Narrow Gauge on which Electrical Engine will run at the nominal speed of 100 to 120 KMPH as the maximum speed. But in Bullet train the technology use is the magnetic gauge corridor on which the bullet train will run at the speed of 500 to 600 KMPH, and it is not run on the normal track gauge, for this we have to create a ELEVATED track with magnetic field technology, a special skilled workers and civil engineers are required to construct this track.
The first Corridor which mention above on which we are working is 70 to 75 % completed in both the cities which included world class railway station, underground tunnels, underground water tunnels, elevated tracks and etc. The dead line of the completion of the project will be on 2029, and we are working with JAPAN RAILWAY COORPORATION OF BULLET TRAIN in PPP MODEL.
Japan is the fastest growth economy of the world and the first creator to create the fastest bullet train of the world having a speed of around 500 KMPH. World sees a Japan as a responsible country in this section of technology and because of it India’s trust with Japan and uses the Japanese Technology is his first high speed rail corridor.
ADVANTAGES OF BULLET TRAIN IN INDIA -:
The major advantage is the time consuming, As we know that if we are going from Delhi to Bhopal it will take around 8 to 9 or 12 hours journey from train and train is late it will be around 15 hours journey depending on the scenario. By the other hand if we take a flight then the journey will be around only 1 to 1.5 hours, the difference is in front of us. After the completion of bullet train in India the maximum speed is around 500 KMPH and with the help of this the same 8 to 9 hours journey will be short and complete in 2 to 2.5 hours, the same time taken by the flight and after it the difference is less in between the flight journey and train journey.
Because of the Magnetic technology gauge is used in the constriction of the bullet train it is little bit up in the air nor the completely attached with the track, due to this there is a zero vibration motion is developed inside the bullet train and the journey will be smooth and soft with the passengers. All the bullet trains will be on punctual on time, and reached the destination without any delay.
This corridor is best for the working professionals, Businessmen who wants a daily journey from one state to another, the new cities will developed due to this and inter-connectivity between the metro cities will strengthen. Many trains is recently launch by the government for the initiation and under the movement of Make in India such as NAMO BHARAT EXPRESS, DURANTO EXPRESS, VANDE BHARAT EXPRESS and etc , now it’s time for the Bullet train which definitely change the world prospective and thinking against India.
In the initial stage and the first phase of the project the initial speed of the bullet train in India is around 300 to 350 KMPH. Afterwards the speed will be increase as per the project phase is completed. It will be take around 25 to 30 years or even more to completely cover all the regional as well as national areas of the country , the fare will be not very high nor very less but that which support the tendency of middle class person of India.
CONCLUSION
The above blog concluded the importance of Bullet train for the economical growth for India, world prospective, working profession jobs, time consuming, interconnectivity, and provided the strength for the Railway network of our Country.
