Guys we re getting Kavach, we are upgrading trainsets, we are building world class railway stations, dfc's...
But currently we are missing news about rail track upgradation for semi high speed rail corridor. Though it maybe happening on ground, but I am not finding much on google search. Can somebody add some new info regarding this?
Also for semi high speed rail corridor we also probably need to fence tracks, either electric or concrete based or mixed, time for govt to think on this.
Probably rail track upgradation will require changing tracks to better grades, limiting sharp turns, upgrading or rebuilding rail bridges, fencing among some other things that I may not know about. I think kavach and such other security infra will also be a key part of this. Taken as a whole this can be hundreds of billion dollar project.
If somehow in next ten years if we can achieve 130 to 150 average speed in some select routes, on some some select trains, it will be awesome.
