2. CONTENTS
I. Need of High Speed Rail in India
II. Key Issues, Challenges and Few experiences
III. Implementation Options
3. WHAT IS HIGH SPEED RAIL?
As per UIC definition, trains running at speed of 200 kmph on
upgraded track and 250 kmph or faster on new track are called High
Speed Trains.
These services may require separate, dedicated tracks and "sealed"
corridors in which grade crossings are eliminated through the
construction of highway underpasses or overpasses.

6. COMMERCIAL VS SOCIAL
• Railway has social obligation to run transport service for all
the area of country irrespective of profit motive. It can not
close uneconomic lines
• It can not increase fare due to adverse political impact even
though fuel cost mounting
• It has to generate enough resources for efficient maintenance
& replacements of assets on its own

per hour
Hour
Reduction in commuting time between cities and added capacity gives an
excellent opportunity for decongestion of the mega urban centers and
growth of smaller towns and other cities.
11. INCREASING URBANIZATION
The major challenges faced are:
Major Urban centers are severely
congested:
Dramatic growth in vehicle
ownership in the past
decade.
Accessing jobs, education becoming increasingly timeconsuming.
Billions of man-hours are lost
with people stuck in traffic.

12. INCREASING URBANIZATION
Explosion in Inter City Travel
India’s urban population - 285 million
reported in the 2001 census and 377
million in 2011 census.
McKinsey Global Institute (MGI)
projects - 590 million by 2030 (40%
of India’s total projected population).
The rapid urbanization in the country
has triggered a growing demand for
inter city traffic between metropolitan
cities and 2nd and 3rd tier cities.
In absence of HSR, passenger traffic
of Airlines/ Car users is growing at 1520%

15. NEED FOR HSR IN INDIA
HSR is energy efficient and is less polluting than Road/Air travel.
Indian imports about 80% of its oil requirement. HSR will use
indigenous energy resources like thermal/hydel/nuclear based energy
Economically as well environmentally, Rail based Transport
system is ideally suited for India.
16. DECREASING MODAL SHARE
India became a decidedly road-dominant economy in the beginning of the eighties
with the railways losing out in respect of both freight traffic and passenger traffic.

17. IMPACT OF INTRODUCTION OF HSR
Introduction of
TGV service in
1981-83
Existing long distance rail services have difficulties
in competing with road and air modes of transport,
The new HSR lines can stop the decline of the
railway’s share on the long distance transport
segment along those corridor.
It provides an attractive transport offer in terms of
reduced travel times and comfortable journey.
Despite the high investment cost it is economically
sustainable and need of the hour.

20. RVNL & HIGH SPEED RAIL
• Ministry of Railways has directed RVNL to form a SPV for
implementation of High Speed Rail projects.
• High Speed Rail Corporation of India Ltd. (HSRC)
incorporated on 25th July, 2012 as a 100% subsidiary of
RVNL.
• HSRC will undertake:
– project activities for Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor such as
preparation of project related studies
– preparation of the technical standards for High Speed Rail
– providing support to Ministry of Railways and Government of
India in finalizing financial and implementation models.
– carry out similar activities for any other corridor decided by the
Government.
23. KEY ISSUES & CHALLENGES
(7) Selection of
Technology
(6) Policy Framework
(1) Political Will
(2) Selection of
Project Corridor(s)
System
Integration
(3) Economic &
Financial Viability
(5) Land Acquisition
(4) Financing
HSR Project(s)
High Speed Rail
Development
24. (1) POLITICAL WILL
Each HSR corridor will have a long gestation period and
will be highly capital intensive, so, strategic thinking is
required at the Apex level for implementing in a
programmed manner
Coordination among Central Government Ministries, State
Governments and Government Agencies
Success stories- National Highways, Airport upgradation, Yamuna express-way
25. (2) SELECTION OF PROJECT CORRIDOR(S)
FOR IMPLEMENTATION
Vast country – Many potential corridors - Selection of
pilot Project;
Economically/financially viable projects to be given
priority;
Willingness of local governments to participate in the
project by way of land and funding support.
26. (3) ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL VIABILITY OF THE
PROJECT
High capital cost will impact viability
HSR will be a dedicated line; High demand risk due to
higher tariffs as compared to conventional rail.
Emphasis on other alternative revenue sources like Real
estate revenues, carbon credits, cross-subsidy from road/air
travelers.
27. (4) FINANCING OF THE PROJECT(S)
The high capital costs of HSR makes it a financing
challenge.
GOI may not fully fund the corridors.
Most state governments will have to raise finances by
extra levies, real estate etc. even for part funding
Private sector may not have adequate financing
capability to fund the large HSR projects. Proper project
structuring by unbundling the projects into smaller
packages may be essential.
Funding by multilateral and bilateral funding agencies
28. (5) LAND ACQUISITION
Critical due to stringent alignment requirements
HSR corridors pass through conurbations or sensitive
land;
Strong public protests adversely affecting large number
of projects.
Mix of alignment choice- grade/ elevated/ tunnels
29. (6) POLICY FRAMEWORK
Robust policy framework for:
Seamless implementation of projects
Assurance for attracting International investors
Creation of National High Speed Rail Authority
30. (7) SELECTION OF TECHNOLOGY
Choice of Technology:
A) Fixed Infrastructure:
Mix of Embankment/Elevated/ Underground Structures and
their dimensional control;
Construction Gauge;
Fencing of the complete track/elevated track;
Electrical Installations.
B) Fast Upgrading Technology
Rolling Stock
Signaling and Communication
Train Control
Fare Collection
32. TGV, FRANCE
The rolling stock for the
TGV lines is procured
by SNCF and is funded
through lease
commitments
French Govt.
The first opened in 1981
between Paris and Lyon
(480 Km) and now total
network 1887 km. French
govt. plan to have new 2000
km HSR lines by 2020.
Borrowing from the
international markets to
enable it to undertake
major projects but not on
a particular project
basis. This funding is
supported by
government guarantee
but is restricted to the
amount that RFF can
repay from the access
fees
Access Charges
(for use of rail infrastructure)
SNCF - French
national rail operator
Réseau Ferré de France
(RFF) – State owned
34. IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS
Considering the case studies, following could be the
implementation options
Non – PPP Option: The project are implemented by the
Government on EPC basis
PPP Options
Option 1: Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer
(DBFOT) of the entire project by a single Private Developer
Option 2: Unbundling the project into different components, so
as to make the project components attractive to private players
from the perspective of affordability in terms of size and risk
allocation:
B&T (Fixed infrastructure)
DFOT (Train operations)
35. IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS
Whether project is implemented through PPP or partial
Government funding route, pre-construction activities should
be started in a programmed manner – Government guidelines
MOR has already created a company named High Speed Rail
Corporation of India as a subsidiary of RVNL.
36. FUNDING OPTIONS
Project Development Activities
A separate fund may be created
To be recovered from viable projects along with additional fee
Rolling fund for further project development activities
Funding Support for PPP projects:
Viability Gap Funding
Multilateral/Bilateral loans by providing Centre government
guarantees
Centre government guarantee for Long term Bonds of Project
SPVs

61. SPAIN DISASTER: TRAIN JUMPS OFF THE TRACKS ON APPROACH
TO NORTH-WESTERN CITY OF SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA
SPAIN KILLING 80 PASSENGERS
In Spain there is a provision of refund of 100% fare if the
train is late by more than 5 min. In this case destination was
about 5 kms and only 5 min was left to reach platform at
destination. European Rail Traffic Management System
(ERTMS) is normally available for High Speed route to take
care of such eventuality. In this case it was about to be
provided in next few days. The conventional system AFSA by
Dymetronics was discontinued only few days back and the
new system ERTMS was not in place. The driver was under
pressure to reach destination within the permitted time and
Technology was not there to check and control. It seems to
be Human Error with System Failure and gives a feeling as if
it had happened in India.
