Description

Correction: The total cost of the bullet train project is 1.10 lakh crore rupees and not 98,000 crores. We apologise for the mistake.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and India's Narendra Modi laid the foundation of India's first bullet train in Sabarmati, Gujarat on September 14.

The Japanese have funded 81% of the entire High-Speed Rail project in India. But, can India sustain High-Speed Rail lines when there is direct competition from the already existing Conventional Speed Rail?
