India's high-speed rail project has been anticipated for 30 years, since the 1980s. To help bring that dream to fruition, Japan is progressing with several concrete preparations, such as bringing engineers to the sites.
HIGH-SPEED RAIL SYSTEM

Through developing the Shinkansen, Japan has not only realized comfortable and streamlined travel, but also a variety of convenient services in and around stations, creating a contemporary lifestyle.
8 → 2 HOURS
A total distance of 500 kilometers (about 311 miles). A maximum speed of 320 kilometers per hour (about 199 miles per hour). With the realization of this high-speed rail system directly linking the city-center to its furthest station, what currently takes 8 hours, would only take a mare 2 hours.
