Indian Railways, in its move to scale back the train journey time on the Golden Quadrilateral, has asked for various high-speed rail feasibility studies to be undertaken.government is functioning on a couple of projects to attach the capital with Varanasi by a bullet. Upon receiving approval, the Delhi-Lucknow stretch is going to be operational by 2029 and therefore the Delhi- Varanasi one by 2031. The traveling
time between Delhi and Varanasi which is at a distance of 720 KM will just be 2.5 hours, cutting the prevailing time period down by 9.5 hours and between Delhi-Lucknow in 1 hour and 38 minutes.
According to the report details shared by Indian Railways with FE Online, the whole project will cost around Rs 1.21 lakh crore, with the Delhi-Varanasi stretch estimated to be at Rs 52,680 crore. According to the report if the project were to be launch in 2021, then the Delhi to Varanasi stretch should be ready in ten years. The Delhi to Lucknow high-speed train corridor should be complete in 8 years, that's by 2029, says the report. a number of the stops of the train would come with Greater Noida, Aligarh, and Jaunpur. A maximum operational speed of 300 km/hr has been considered, with a billboard speed of 250 km/hr.
How much would a bullet railroad ticket cost? According to reports, the base fare would be Rs 4.5 per kilometer. this can mean that for traveling between Delhi to Varanasi you'll need to distribute a minimum of Rs 3,240 (720*4.5) and for Delhi to Lucknow, the minimum fare would compute to be Rs 1,980 (440*4.5).
High-Speed Rail Corporation is the nodal agency for these feasibility studies. Delhi-Mumbai and Mumbai-Chennai bullet corridors also are under the High-Speed Rail Corporation. Feasibility studies also are being undertaken for the Delhi-Chandigarh and Delhi-Amritsar corridors.
