| eabhi200k | High Speed Railways in India: A reality or a Mirage? on : June 25, 2013 - 12:00:32 PM |
|
During his recent visit to Japan, the Prime Minister agreed to a joint feasibility study by Japanese experts along with the Indian Railways officials for constructing a high speed corridor between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. Currently the French Railway experts are also studying the business model for the same corridor based on future traffic projections. A few months back, a high powered committee of secretaries was appointed to look into possible funding options and the report is still awaited. The draft 12th Five-Year Plan envisages development of one high speed rail corridor of about 500 kilometres in the current plan period. It has also proposed setting up National High Speed Rail Authority for implementation of HSR corridor projects. Does it mean that the government has finally decided to develop high speed railways for the ever rising passenger transport demand on important routes?The proposal for developing High Speed Railway (HSR) between Delhi and Kanpur via Agra was first mooted in mid-eighties when Madhavrao Scindia was the Railway Minister. An internal study found the proposal unviable at that time due to the high cost of construction and inability of travelling passengers to bear much higher train fares than what were for normal trains. The Railways then settled for the Shatabdi trains, fast inter-city day trains generally travelling at maximum speed of 130 kilometres per hour, even as the Bhopal Shatabdi has a maximum speed of 150 kilometres per hour between New Delhi and Agra. While we are still discussing the pros and cons of developing HSR in the country, Chinese Railways who began planning for HSR in mid-nineties, started construction in 1998 and now have largest HSR network in the world extending over 7000 route kilometres. Recently the Chinese Railways signed a MOU with Indian Railways for technical cooperation including HSR technology and also showed interest in constructing HSR in India. |

| railgenie | PM to innaugurate Pir Panjal rail tunnel tomorrow on : June 25, 2013 - 12:01:43 PM |

Nearly nine years ago when, Sharanappa Yalal relocated his base to Kashmir as the project manager of the 11 km Pir Panjal railway tunnel, the longest in India, most locals told him, it was never going to happen. Yet after a three-year delay, technical snags and several complications, the Rs 800-crore project is all set to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh tomorrow.Besides the one of its kind tunnel, the Rs 1,800-crore Uri 240 MW Hydroelectric project, situated very close to the line of control, is also expected to take off very soon. It is learnt that the inauguration of the hydro-power project has been removed from the itinerary of the PM due to some technical snags. The horse shoe shaped diversion tunnel, created for generating hydropower, will benefit Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Chandigarh. Around 13% of the power generated will go to Jammu & Kashmir.Both projects have been executed by the Hindustan Construction Company, which had also undertaken the Bandra-Worli sea link project in Mumbai.The Pir Panjal tunnel, which runs below the 2.5 kms long Jawahar tunnel, connects Bichelri valley of Banhial in Jammu with Quazigund in Kashmir and it is expected to link J&K to the Indian railway network through the year. It is a part of the 345-km long Jammu Udhampur Srinagar Baramulla Railway Link, aimed at connecting Jammu with Baramulla “Earlier due to snowfall, Jawahar tunnel would have to be closed during the winter months. But Pir Panjal tunnel is at a lower height and long enough to keep snowfall at bay,” Yalal said. |
