Railways doesn't rule out first phase of bullet train in Gujarat

印度铁路公司：不排除高铁先运行古吉拉特邦段的可能性

NEW DELHI: Indian Railways has not ruled out the possibility of commencing the operation of the Ahmedabad-Mumbai Bullet Train between Ahmedabad to Vapi in Gujarat in the first phase, if land availability in Maharashtra gets delayed further.

新德里：如果马哈拉施特拉邦的征地进一步推迟，印度铁路公司不排除炸第一阶段运行艾哈迈达巴德-孟买高铁古吉拉特邦路段（艾哈迈达巴德-古吉拉特邦瓦皮路段）的可能性。

Responding to a question on whether the government would start operation in two phases, railway Board CEO and chairman, V K Yadav said they are keen to start the service on the entire stretch. “The Maharashtra government has assured us to make more than 80% land available in the next four months...We are also preparing whether we can run the train in the first phase between Ahmedabad and Vapi (325 km), if there is a delay in getting the land in Maharashtra due to any reason. But all these decisions will be taken when we have clarity about land availability in Maharashtra,” he said.

印度铁路局首席执行官兼主席V K Yadav在回答关于政府是否会分两阶段开通高铁的问题时表示，他们希望一次性整条高铁通车。“马哈拉施特拉邦政府向我们保证，将在未来四个月完成80%的征地……如果马哈拉施特拉邦的征地延误，我们将考虑在第一阶段先运行艾哈迈达巴德和瓦皮(325公里)路段。所有这些决定都将在马哈拉施特拉邦的征地情况明朗之后做出。”

TOI on November 26 had reported how Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked the railways to complete the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project at least on the Gujarat portion in time, if the land issues don’t get resolved for the stretch falling in Maharashtra.

《印度时报》11月26日曾报道，如果马哈拉施特拉邦的土地问题未能解决，莫迪总理要求铁路部门及时完成艾哈迈达巴德-孟买高铁项目，至少完成古吉拉特邦境内路段。

According to the minutes of Pragati meeting chaired by Modi on November 25, Maharashtra government has been directed to handover the land required in Thane and Vikhroli urgently and balance land by April 30, 2021. Railway and environment ministries and Maharashtra government have been instructed to expeditiously process the proposal of forest clearance.

根据莫迪11月25日主持的Pragati会议的纪要，已指示马哈拉施特拉邦政府在2021年4月30日前完成塔纳和Vikhroli的征地。印度铁路和环境部以及马哈拉施特拉邦政府已接到指示，要迅速处理砍伐森林的问题。

The land acquisition in Maharashtra portion so far has been around 23%.

到目前为止，马哈拉施特拉邦征地约完成23%。

Maharashtra will have to wait for its portion of the train until BJP returns to power on its own.

马哈拉施特拉邦得等到该邦的人民党上台才能通高铁了。

But that will be too costly to operate. Otherwise also the infrastructure cost is extremely high for the project.

这样做的成本太高。此外，该项目的基建成本也非常高。

Alok Bagaria

The 1st High Speed Rail in India will therefore be a Gujarat only affair.

因此，印度第一条高铁将只属于古吉拉特邦。

Shankar

Great, let Gujrat public enjoy bullet train. At least great cost saving Maharashtra

太好了，让古吉拉特邦的民众享受高铁吧。马哈拉施特拉邦至少节省了大量成本

Until that happens the center should stall all center funded projects in MH..Let the pappus cry!

印度中央应该暂停马哈拉施特邦所有中央拨款的项目，让他们哭去吧!

Laxmin Naik

Bullet train has to gave commercial viability. Otherwise running and sustaining this means waste of public tax payers money. Also at the same time if the project gets delayed, then the costs will escalate.

高铁必须在商业上可行。否则，运营和维持高铁会是无底洞。同时，如果项目推迟，那么成本将会上升。

If it runs in gujjuland it is enough

古吉拉特邦通了高铁，那就足够了

Mana Baldia

Utterly comical. After travelling at Bullet Speed ie as per Indian Super Fast standards the passengers will have to get down at MH border and catch a Fast Local to Mumbai that too by Standing Commute. Welcome to new type of Sab Ka Saath Sab Ka Vikas / Co-operative non federalism.

真是滑稽。在古吉拉特邦坐高铁，之后乘客不得不在边界下车，坐上一辆到孟买的快车。欢迎来到新非联邦制合作国家。

We need many Bullet trains in our country. Just imagine Mumbai Delhi is 5-6 hours - compared to the 15 hours now. Other routes - Mumbai - Bangalore less than 4 hours and Bangalore Chennai - just 1.5 hours.. almost all people travelling for business would prefer these high speed bullet trains instead of flights - especially when they will cost almost same and take less time in many cases by train as you are nearer your destination.

我们国家需要很多高铁。想象一下，孟买到德里5-6个小时，而以前需要15个小时。其他路线——孟买到班加罗尔不到4小时，班加罗尔到金奈只要1.5小时。几乎所有出差的人都更喜欢坐高铁，而不是飞机，尤其是两者的票价几乎一样，而且在很多情况下，坐火车更方便，更快到达。
