Mumbai to Delhi in 3 hours by train
Hello friends i have read this artical on website " www.expressindia.com " found it an intresting one. After reading this you all can belive that " India is realy shining " or we can india is on the right track.
" In the not too distant future, you may be able to take a train from Mumbai and arrive in Delhi in less than three hours — thanks to maglev (magnetic levitation) trains that will hurtle down the tracks at speeds of up to 500 kph.
According to sources, the rail ministry is considering a proposal from a US-based NRI group to start maglev trains in India. The cost of building the line: a jaw-dropping $30 billion. The NRI group has been sending feelers to railway minister Lalu Prasad in this connection. The group wants to make a presentation before the minister, highlighting the advantages of the magnetic levitation technology.
The proposal is at a preliminary stage. However, if it is cleared by the ministry, the Delhi-Mumbai corridor would be taken up for implementation at an estimated cost of $30 billion (approximately Rs 1,35,000 crore). Pillars would be set up from Mumbai to New Delhi for laying the tracks. The minister may discuss the proposal internally next week."
