Feasibility Studies Planned for North-South-East Bullet Train Corridors

President M. Venkaiah Naidu, during his address to Parliament, announced the government's plan to conduct feasibility studies for bullet train corridors connecting North, South, and East India. These studies aim to assess the viability and potential benefits of high-speed rail connectivity across these regions.

The proposed bullet train corridors are envisioned to enhance intercity connectivity and reduce travel time significantly between major cities in North, South, and East India. This initiative aligns with India's ambition to modernise its rail infrastructure and promote sustainable transportation solutions.

President Naidu emphasised the importance of leveraging advanced technologies to transform India's transport sector, highlighting the potential economic and social benefits of high-speed rail networks. The feasibility studies will evaluate various aspects including route alignment, environmental impact, economic viability, and technological requirements.

The government's decision underscores its commitment to advancing infrastructure development in key sectors, fostering economic growth, and meeting the evolving transportation needs of a rapidly urbanising country. If implemented, these bullet train corridors could revolutionise travel experiences and stimulate regional development across North, South, and East India.

The feasibility studies mark a significant step towards realising India's vision of integrating modern transportation systems, enhancing connectivity, and promoting sustainable development across diverse geographical regions.
