Hopefully we will see faster progress here (and other HSR lines).. I doubt about the progress on Ahmedabad Delhi line, as it passes through Rajasthan (and may face the same fate as that of Maharashtra). Lets hope for the bes
What is the status of MRS2 Project…when would tenders for Rollingstock be announced
The Rolling Stock is Already Chosen in 2017. India will use Shinkansen E5 Series. and it will be manufacture under Make in India Initiative. 1st 10 trains will be Made in Japan by Kawasaki Industries and rest 14 will be Made in India by BHEL through Transfer of Technology, under the Supervision of Kawasaki.
Thanx for your prompt reply.
Sorry for my not clear question, I was asking regarding Mumbai metro MRS 2 project.
Regarding the production of balance 14 shinkansen trains, which unit of BHEL will be involved.
I just got a information on Shinkansen Wikipedia. Just go to downward. Shinkansen outside Japan, then u will see that they clearly Mentioned that Kawasaki Industries have made a Technology transfer with BHEL.
Higher possibility that Japanese high Speed trains will be chosen.
You may correct me , however as per my knowledge Technology Cooperation Agreement between BHEL & Kawasaki is limited to MRTS class coaches & bogie only. Tender for Maglev trains from NHSRCL is yet to be floated with possible completion between Kawasaki & Hitachi.
In case of Mumbai Metro MRS2 Rolling Stock contract. BEML, Bombardier and CRRC participate but MMRDA has yet to Award the Contract. I m really Sorry for not Understanding your Question Properly.
May i know you
Sir which BHEL plant is 14 bullet train going to be made under Kawasaki JV.
Possibility at their Jhansi Plant. Watch my Video here

Can anyone tell why they left out Kanpur. What was the idea behind having a station at South Kannauj instead of at Kanpur?
It’s only tentative station . Station would be finalized after surveys and dpr
Okay, but then why isn’t the tentative station at Kanpur? If they left out Kanpur in the tentative list, they must have given at least some thought.
Yes, leaving out Kanpur, an important city since ages, doesn’t make sense. Hope, the concerned, realise this, and Kanpur gets its due. Kanpurwallahs should definitely protest, from now itself. This fact should go public so that awareness is created fast.
I think the alignment of this NHSRCL line is all along the Yamuna Expressway and the Lucknow Agra Expressway. For the ease of land acquisition.
Congratulations
