The project, which was approved in 2014, faced several setbacks.
Missing key details: It’s the shinkansen bullet train being built from Japan which has an impeccable record at 320kmph. Japan is also financing 90% of the costs as a 0.1% interest 50 year loan with a 15 year moratorium at the start. Practically free transfer of technology and project.
Japan is financing but majority of technology is being developed in-house by L&T even new construction methods and also Vande Bharat based Bullet trains will made by RCF & BEML
@daipayanbhowal8914 that is correct. Manufacturing is local, only technological expertise is obtained. Which is crucial because bullet train is a completely different challenge than even vande bharat trains. The smallest of things like vibrations and movement of the tracks, inclination, declination, curve, air pressure is strictly controlled. The tracks are specially constructed. India does not yet know how to do this but learning from Japan which has perfected this, it will make it’s own in house bullet trains in the future.
No bro, its 108000 crore and japan is giving about 80000 crore rest by states and centre @@wretfsfvd
Japanese bullet train technology is the costliest; it has not been used anywhere else. As for cost the Japanese are in it for profits and are not doing a social service. As for technology they will never transfer the most sophisticated proprietary technology to any other country ; you’re kidding yourself if you believe it .
Most ‘expert analysts’ seem to miss this point, i.e.: this project is essentially a gift from Japan.
so you will report some baseless accusation by opposition in the news?
I mean they are the news so they should report it, people can choose to look at it if it’s true or not.
@@kamadotanjiro3118 Everything is in the news. It’s just an accusation, so the report should also say it’s an accusation by the opposition. It should not be reported as a fact. And that is the game plan of lefties.
2:47 Don’t US politicians take money as donation from Companies to run elections so, same way Companies have donated money to different parties who they thinking there policies r beneficial for them…….
Our railways should also explore push and pull technology for Mumbai ahemdabad route and other such routes around india …..cos ppl who can’t afford bullet tickets can atleast experience on time and faster travel by our Indian railways at affordable rates
For the God sake bring local reporters who can pronounce proper name of cities and provide correct information.
Ita a US channel why would they do that at least he is from indian heritage. They don’t have broadcast here
easier said than done. they’re not gonna hire a local for one little story when they can just have an employee do it
People who are comparing Indian Bullet train project with Indonesia…
Must Understand…
In Indonesia Chinese workers and Chinese machines are doing the majority of work with Indonesian workers.
**But in India L and T(an Indian company) is doing the construction.**
**Electrical overhead wiring work will also be done by L and T**
Machines are also built and operated by Indian engineers. Only Chief engineer comes once a while from Japan to see progress and modifications.
**So technically India is learning how to make bullet train project**
**Just like we learned how to make world class Metro infrastructure**
And also JAPAN’S bullet trains are safest and best in the world.
“So asking for help again n again in future from Japan is not what India is thinking.”
That’s why it is taking time.
Additional info — Indonesia’s route length is 142 km with 4 stations.
**India’s route length is 508 km (476 km elevated on pillars, including 21 km undersea tunnel) with 12 stations.**
“Also, Undersea tunnel will be made by AFCONS which is also an Indian Company.
So, it will take time.
*Source-Wikipedia.
Afcon is the French company. Google it.
lndonesian bullet train project finished on schedule and now is in full operation, but how many times has the lndian project been delayed and can it finish before 2100? 😅
No one should ever employ lndian construction company
@@aburetik4866 That same company
Built…
*world’s tallest statue.
*World’s biggest cricket stadium.
*World’s highest railway bridge.
*India’s first Undersea Road tunnel.
*India’s longest sea bridge of length 21 km.
*Rocket for chandrayaan 3 mission which made India to reach on moon’s south pole for the first time.
*It is worth more than 20 billion dollars and it operates in more than 45 countries.*
*Metro in more than 12 cities of India.
So before using fingers use brain cells.
142 km << 508 km.
and they are building it very fast.
of course europe/us has other standards as well as high environmental hurdles, but high speed rail takes for ever in these countries.
But
Time is money
Japanese bullet trains are the costliest trains- why wasn’t a tender floated in the first case ? The travel costs too will be high ; ordinary people will find it difficult to afford it . The trains operating in other sectors going to the north and east are overcrowded, in terrible shape and in dirty condition . Why aren’t these trains improved ? Ahmedabad and Mumbai are connected by plenty of buses, trains and flights ; there is absolutely no necessity of a bullet train on this sector except for local prestige . Indian railways safety record is abysmal ; instead of investing in vanity projects they should first invest in latest safety equipment.
Which ordinary people will find difficult to travel and expensive?? Here the flight cost between AHD and Mumbai is 5k, if a train is running in 4k and reaching faster automatically people will opt for bullet train. Plus both the cities and the states are high income. So your claims are baseless. And yes Japanese trains are expensive but they are also transferring most of the technologies unlike cheaper Chinese counterparts. So it’s mostly one time expense. Again your claims are baseless
because this is an opportunity to learn and absorb tech after which we will develop our own hsr and other systems thst it requires at a cheaper rate. Chinese arent ready to do this. Instead they want to build everything and not transfer knowledge.
@@henrystevens3993 Henry boy , Japan doesn’t transfer shinkansen technology; it’s protected and the manufacturing is in Japan itself . As for the journey plane will take ½ the time the train will take . Vande Bharat is not the success that the railways said ; they are not running faster than 90 kmph . Who exactly is baseless?
What is the need for buying a car then u should travel in a bus with u r family,it is a future economic corridor joker,we are building infrastructure which leads to growth,infrastructure is created around services,learn some basic economic lessons chhapri
Because they provided 80000 cr soft loan.
ANOTHER REASON TO VOTE FOR BJP ❤❤
BJP for next 3 decades, INDIA will be best place to live.❤
Jai BJP!! Jai Modi!! 🚩
Indonesians incoming by comparing their 160km of hsr with 500km of hsr completely built by our indian companies with strong Japanese assistance, rather than chinese contractor who are wholly constructing the whole project with their equipments and workers with very less technology transfer
Edit: I am not comparing both countries bullet train technology as Japan and China both countries mastered the HSR technology, infact china has the most hsr train network of more than 45000+ km
You dont even have 1 hsr in jr country lol , why do they even bother to compare with urs . If u got one then talk after that
@@cardano5122 bruh, Its your people on YouTube who always yapping about how your train is superior than Japanese technology, Mocking India by saying that our HSR is so delayed, Is China is selling propoganda with projects now 🤡
china built 40,000 km high speed rail in the same period
Only to know that it doesn’t required
Yes, they built most routes for the sake of it. It is incurring huge losses now. Not to mention ghost cities that they built, well jut to show off. Bet not even 10,000 km of the routes are viable. Chinese have this madness to overdo everything just to show off.
@@parikshitsharda4377 china debt to gdp ratio is much lower than india
@@parikshitsharda4377 Chinese HSR generates 8% ROI, so it’s a good, viable investment. Same with prebuilding cities to avoid Indian-style slums. 45,000 km HSR is not yet enough, and China currently plans expansion to 70,000 km HSR by 2035. What’s shocking is how many countries with big urban corridors still lack HSR to connect them.
@@zzgreyhat3886 its actually much higher..China debt to gdp ratio is 287% while India has only 82%..stop reading from Twitter University 😂
it is urgently needed so that my Gujju friends can eat non veg, have a good drink and try their luck in getting laid.

Thinking about Garbage India made me 🤢
It’s going to be a white elephant.
No it will not. Per capita income of Gujarat and Maharashtra is more than national average and it is increasing fast. If it extended upto delhi than almost 100 million urban population will be connected like delhi ncr 30 million. Mumbai metropolitan 25 million. Ahmadabad surat vadadora 25 million. Jaipur udaipur Ajmer 10 million around
@@KishanKumar-qz1kt check the ticket price of Shinkansen for 500 kms (Tokyo to Osaka). It’s the same distance from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. Next, for the sake of the argument let’s say the ticket will be half the cost ( even though it won’t coz Japan already recovered their investment on capital a long time ago and we haven’t even started). I’ve traveled by Shinkansen in Japan for 1 month. Even normal Japanese people don’t use it there. It’s extremely expensive even for Japanese standards. Only Japanese businessmen use it. Next , who will pay 5,000 for a Bullet train when flights are available for 2-3K. Nothing about this project makes any sense other than that Modi has been friends with Shinzo. It will eventually run in losses = public of India will be subsiding travel for a fraction of one percent of the population. If you are thinking that it will be used as a local train and 100 million potential ridership, you’re dreaming.
It will be a white elephant. Mark my words.
@@Oceanstaur not getting the points it will motivate gonna use by every person but people who handles business in this city their employees they will use this trains n which will reduce the traffic from local trains n flights also it will create good revenue for gov to build more

@@Oceansta challenge accepted 🐅🐅🐅
Why are these Indonesians coming here and are bashing Japan and India while praising China? Don’t compare the 500+ KM rail with the 140 KM Indonatian HSR. Indonesia just opened a small part of their station and is mocking India for “slow construction”. If you want to compare, then compare it with the full 600 Km section up to Surabaiya or at least up to Madiun. It will take decades for Indonesia to finish it up to Surabaiya while India will run 500+ KM in the next 2 or 3 years.
Indonesia finished the first segment and is operating today. India hasn’t finished anything in a decade.
……….then you could even laugh louder at Vietnamese HSR Japanese project 1500 KM completion dated 2045.

What about existing railway system in shattered position where lakhs of people travel every day
So called vande Bharat and other costly trains are running late every day upto 3 hours
Why railway is not trying for punctuality ??
Bhai, itna bhi generalize mat karo. Kongress had made railways inefficient, stinking, dirty, never on time. Lagta hai acchi cheez pachti nahin tumko. I have caught several trains from delhi over the past few years, all were bang on time. Stop spreading lies. India could not develop because kongress had bred a whole community of pessimists like you over the 55 years that they ruled.

All the contract are given via process of public tender whichever company bids for the lowest and fulfills all the required criterias gets the contract.
Modi gave AFCON $500 M contract in Maldives in which the company has no experience building a sea bridge.

Need between Bangalore – Mysore – Chennai
Not possible with DMK in Tamil Naddu and Kongress in Karnataka, they will create hurdles in land acquisition like Maha Aghadi did in Maharashtra. Kerala has been building the silver line our what in the air for two decades now. Only BJP can implement projects.
@@parikshitsharda4377 Typical nonsense sprouted by an misinformed BJP supporter. The Vande Bharat trains, UPI scheme, GST, the Bangalore-Mysuru Expressway, the Metro rail project in Delhi and even the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor, were budgeted and initiated during congress rule. These project take time to implement. Modi is taking credit for things he has not done. What exactly have the BJP Govt done in Karnataka since they took power? Did they improve the infrastructure? No. Did they improve sanitation? No. Did they cut down on corruption? No. All they did was raise electricity prices. Thank goodness for Congress who has made bus travel and electricity free. At least our tax money is used for the benefit of people and not going into the hands of Ambanis and Adanis.

@@mihirpatel6162 Mr Patel please do your research before believing WhatsApp posts by BJP IT cell dept. India and Japan signed a MoU to undertake a joint feasibility study of the Mumbai–Ahmedabad route in New Delhi in September 2013. This is before the Modi Govt came to power.
its vanity project , west of money . People don’t have water to drink.
Western media = Propaganda Channels.
Mumbai needs to invest first in intra-city and inter-city travel before interstate because the trains are jam-packed, unsafe and uncomfortable. This is a vanity project that ignores the ground reality.
When this HSR will be open?
2026
Let us all watch whether it will be open by 2026 as promised. It has been delayed for decades now.

In India work is very slow The government just loves headlines.
India need to step up in the high speed railsconstruction，10 years for 500 kilometer high speed rail is too slow， China has already had 45000 kilometer high speed rail With current speed they need at least 1000 years to catch up with China
