Work on long-delayed Bengaluru Business Corridor (PRR-1) is set to begin, with 8km of the 21.5km Package 1 stretch cleared for construction.
Preparations are also underway to invite tenders for Package 2, even as land acquisition challenges persist. – at Bengaluru, India
But more private sector manufacturing needed.
We can't be launching one train at a time.
This whole Vande series of trains could unlock a huge export market for our country
@AshwiniVaishnaw @narendramodi step up pls
BEML/ICF can get royalty but let more pvt companies build

Demand creation Modi style:
Pilot Vande Bharat, inaugurate one by one
Pilot Bullet train
Piot RRTS
Now almost all states want all the three.

Sorry but this is a stupid question.
I don't think people realise how difficult it is to execute something for the very first time. And more importantly, how much faster things can move once you have done it once.
Take example of Delhi Metro. Announced in 1994, construction started in 1998, only 8 km line done by 2002.
Next 3 years, 57 km added.
Next 4 years, 125km added.
India added 248km operational metro in 16 yrs till 2014. But in next 11 yrs, we added 847km.
That's what experience, institutional capability and an established ecosystem can do. Now let's see Bullet train project.
India's first bullet train corridor is 508 km long(China first one was only 120km and that too on a flat terrain).
Yes, it is taking time. But the scale of the project is also vastly different. It involves India's FIRST UNDERSEA TUNNEL and engineering challenges we've never encountered before.
Plus we had following issues -
1. Congress in Maharashtra stopped all work of bullet train from 2019-2022. 3 yrs gone in that.
2. China stopped TBM(needed for undersea tunnel) export to us for 2 years. We have to then make our own from scratch.
Building the first corridor is the hardest part. You acquire the technology, develop the ecosystem, train the workforce and create domestic manufacturing capabilities. The next projects then benefit from all of that experience and goes super fast(like our metro).
Hence, before judging India's first bullet train project, people should actually study a bit on what we are trying to achieve.

The Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train was announced in 2017. Nearly a decade later, it is still under construction.
At this rate, Bengaluru–Chennai and Bengaluru–Hyderabad might become reality sometime in 2040.
Big infrastructure announcements make great headlines. But what we really need are clear, realistic deadlines, accountability and execution.
Announce the vision, but also commit to a timeline.

So bullet train is getting attraction again so let's make it clear.
First we are developing two different trains for bullet train tracks-
B28(280kmph max)-by 2027
B35(350kmph max)-by 2030
Then we will also procure some japanese rolling stocks but they will come later.
First run will be done by indian made trains only.

Do we really need pollution certificate for new vehicles at least in first three years ?

Assam's first ✅
North East's first ✅
India's first ✅
I am extremely proud to share that Assam has signed the MoU to set up India's first Proton Beam Therapy centre in the public health sector at a cost of ₹600 cr.
Until now, proton beam therapy, one of the world's most advanced cancer treatments, has been available only in private hospitals in India, at costs of up to ₹50 lakh.
Assam seeks to change that today.
This advanced technology attacks tumours with pinpoint precision while sparing healthy tissues. For suitable patients, particularly children, that can make a significant difference.
With 17 cancer hospitals rising across the state, 12 of them being functional, a community level constant outreach programme and consistent investments in human capital and infrastructure, our ambition is clear: Assam will be a global centre for cancer care.

Objection Milord!
WHO WILL JUDGE THE JUDGE?
Kerala High Court is not expected to take immediate action against an Additional District and Sessions Judge who was named as an accused in a case involving a fatal car accident involving his 17-year-old son! The Mercedes car involved in the crash belonged to the judge. The MVA is clear that parents are liable for acts of underage dependents.
The High Court’s administrative committee had earlier met to discuss the matter, but no immediate action against the judge is expected.
