During his visit to Japan last week, Prasad had got a first hand experience of the fast trains travelling from Tokyo to Kyoto at a speed of about 300 km per hour.

The bullet trains are well managed in Japan. so the idea of staring it in idea tickled his mind and ministry started taking up all proper measures to bang up with the new ultra speed train on Indian tracks.

Meanwhile, the Railways have invited global tenders for conducting pre-feasibility study of high-speed train corridor on the Delhi-Chandigarh-Amritsar route.

The study will focus on technicalities, financial and operational viability of the project
