Ya'll Nibbiars there was a proposal to construct a single line in the Andaman don't knew what happened. And even why it was proposed. And may be to improve the supply in the Andaman.

Who is Dawsony?

For Train 18 project, I think Piyush Goyal got played by the Railway babus who were unhappy with Medha group making such high quality aluminum coaches and taking all the credits.
They did hit job over it and Piyush himself cancelled their tenders initially.
Later he must have got dressing from other people that he opened the Tender again and award contracts to three companies now to make the new sets of train 18.

If this stupidity had not happen then we would have already got 3-4 new lines of Train 18 by now.

Wahan single line ka bhi jagah hai!

Better construct a coastal roadway going between multiple islands as present in many island chains near Caribbean.

That 130 kmph was for old Rails produced in country so far.

Few yrs back only SAIL and another private steal mill produced new generation rails which can sustain over 160 KMPH over long duration without any issues.
These new rails only are being used to make Freight corridors and all new upgraded lines all over the country.

Jindal?

Indian Railways have projected a requirement of 1.8 Lac MT per annum of this high-grade 60E1 1175 Heat Treated (HT) Rails

China is also trying to make a railway line from Lhasa to Kathmandu if they succeed then Kathmandu will get directly connected with Beijing and other cities of China In future they will try to link Kathmandu with high speed rail corridor

Ya'll Nibbiars and now they got a link but we should not allow a direct connection with the Chinese railway's.

@IndianHawk this is big .

Next focus should be on electricity storage.

We would want to reduce our dependence on coal fired plants to see through the night. Bill board lighting etc should be minimal.

Urban lighting at commercial places after shops close is a criminal wastage and must be penalized. We need lights out by 10-11 pm.
