China's first true HSR route was of 174km length, constructed in 2008. It took 3 years for them.
Then between 2008 to 2015, they added total 19,000km of hsr lines at the rate of 1000km/year to more than 3000km per year.
>2008 → Beijing–Tianjin (117 km) opened, first true HSR line.
>2008–2015 → The “golden rush.” Annual additions went from ~1,000 km/year to >3,000 km/year.
>2010 → China had ~8,400 km.
>2015 → Over 19,000 km.
>2019 → ~35,000 km.
>2023 → ~43,000 km.
They didn't stop in 2015, in next 8 years they went on to add 14,000km more of hsr line. Almost 2000km / year annual addition.
Our first hsr line, Ahmedabad to Mumbai is of length 500km going through one of the most challenging areas all elevated properly began in 2021 and most of the civil infra and electric infra will be completed by 2028.
Time is ripe now, we should prepare country for 5000km HSR line by 2035. It will be completely change the landscape of the country
>entire india less than 10hrs away.
>massive infra building providing gorillions of jaabs
>massive cement, steel consumption leading to further gdp increase
>by 2035 we will be almost 7000pci to 8000pci.
It will be perfect time, you can only build infra when you are growing we have peak manpower, developing economy right now. This is the best time for HSR.
Instead of elevated we can have fenced tracks, vande bharat trainsets which are around 280kmph at peak with successive iterations of BEML vande bharat with aluminum coaches, tilting tech all standard gauge reaching upto 320kmph eventually.
Specific routes can have japanese trainsets if they want but most sections should be like above. For the rest of the railway tracks, let them be upgraded till 160kmph to 180kmph, let them be used by current sleeper ac vande bharat trainsets etc. Legacy trains.
India needs mission 5000km High Speed Railway by 2035
