Background….

Vision 2020 Document

Modernisation of Indian Railways – Report

Railway Budget-2015-16

Need of the day

Latest Trial run of 160 KMPH speed between Delhi-Agra Section

Some agencies working on HSR…

5

Corridors taken for HSR…Feasibility study is carried out

Pre Feasibility study is carried out

AIM for HSR Development

7

Proposed HSR routes in India

9

Advantages of HSR Reduction of travel time of passengers Fast accessibility to urban centres, lead to

economical and industrial growth Cope up higher demand for passenger

and freight traffic HSR route will help in commercial growth Land required by the HSR is very less,

reducing environmental impact It is Energy Efficient mode with compared

to other modes of transportation

10

Advantages of HSR It runs on alternate energy sources, which

will reduce the environmental impacts with compared to other mode of transportation.

Better haulage capacity against less fuel consumption

Modern technology, through which the improvement of transportation mode.

Better option for Modal shift from Airways Creation of new job openings for

construction and maintenance of facility.

11

Disadvantages of HSR

Huge Investment- Financial Viability is major Issue

Economical factors- Balance of income and out goings

Technological factors like Technology for Tracks-Trains, Technology for Operation & geometrical changes required

High Running and maintenance costs Rolling stocks, Locomotives etc. are to be

replaced

12

Disadvantages of HSR

Social Impacts Safety consideration of Passengers as well

as Surroundings High cost of journey will affect the

affordability of Common man of India In India, Political interference plays

important role Only passenger traffic income will not be

sufficient, freight traffic required to be included.

Factors affecting in adoption of HSR

13

14

Financial factors.. As per one estimate Rs. 115 crores will

be required for track of 1 Km length, thus very huge Investment is required , so,

How this funds can be arranged ? What are the Alternatives like Central

Finance or State finance of Loan from some agencies or PPP type Model etc ???

How it can be recovered ?

15

Economical factors.. What is Expenditure in Installing as well

as in running & Maintenance ?? What will be the Ridership depending

upon Corridor selection, necessity, Affordability, Modal shift from other modes of transportation etc??

What will be the revenue generation ? And how the costs will be recovered ?

How the land would be acquired ? At which cost ?

16

Technological factors..

Technology for train running- which

technology should be adopted ??

Changing & straightening of alignment

Changes in present track structure

Upgradation in Track geometrics

Modifications required in permanent way

17

Technological factors..

Modification of rail materials

Modifications at points & crossings

Modifications in stations

Signalling and communication

Rolling stocks

Safety at level crossings

18

Technological factors.. Modification on existing C-D works Other Engineering factors related to

Mechanical, Electrical & Instrumentation Provisions of ROB & RUB for other traffic Treatment of Unstable Formation Provisions for safety like Fencing to stop

trespassing, Retro reflective sign boards for improve visibility, Manning of unmanned level crossing etc.

19

International scenario Countries like China, Japan, USA, UK,

France, Germany, Spain etc. have introduced HSR/ HST/ Bullet trains in their transportation infrastructure

many countries are till modifies their facility by adopting more and more modern Technologies

e.g. on 21.04.2015 Japan has tested for MAGLEV Train having highest speed more then 600 KMPH

Salient features of Proposed Ahmedabad-Mumbai high speed corridor

The proposed route is the part of

DMIC Delhi Mumbai Industrial

corridor

27


The proposed route will pass through.... Gujarat (364 KMs), Dadra-Nagar-Haveli(6 KMs) & Maharashtra (176 KMs) --Total 546 KMs

28

Salient features of Proposed Ahmedabad-Mumbai high speed corridor Horizon Year for the Project is estimated

2021

Expected Operational Speed-350 KMPH Expected Commercial speed- 286 KMPH Total Travel Time- 1Hr & 52 Minutes.

29


Cost of Construction

Rs. 45000.00

Crores

Rolling stock cost

Rs. 5000

Crores

30

Conclusions: All the concerned factors should be

taken care of before proceeding for Implementation of such costly project.

Financial & Economical viability should be prime concerns

HSR should be limited to just 160-200 KMPH in countries like India

High speed corridors should be not only for passenger trains but it should include the freight movement as well…
