The Railways is planning to global
tenders from consultants for conducting a pre-feasibility study for
Pune-Ahmedabad high-speed corridor.
A consultant will focus on
technicalities, financial and operational viability of the project. The
pre-feasibility study will be followed by a more detailed study focusing on
traffic pattern, funding plan, stakeholders' view, fare structure and other
related issues before beginning the work.
The proposed high speed train or
bullet train, is expected to run at 300 km per hour on a dedicated fast track.
The cost of the pre-feasibility study will be shared by Maharashtra, Gujarat and
the Railways Ministry.
