BULLET TRAINS

Presented by, Feba Mary Alex S3,MBA

INTRODUCTION
The Shinkansen( new trunk line), also known as the "Bullet Train", is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan operated by four Japan railways group companies. The ride on the bullet train (Shinkansen) is more like an airplane without some of the hassles. Cost wise the bullet train is fairly similar to flying within Japan, but with the advantage that your start and end right in the middle of the city Starting with the Tkaid Shinkansen in 1964, the network has expanded to currently consist of 2,387.7 km (1,483.6 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 240300 km/h (149186 mph), 283.5 km (176.2 mi) of Mini-shinkansen lines with a maximum speed of 130 km/h (81 mph), and 10.3 km (6.4 mi) of spur lines with Shinkansen services.

OBJECTIVES
To acquire knowledge about the Bullet Trains. To know the growth of Bullet Trains.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Methodology is the way in which we find out information. A methodology describes how something will be done. The methodology includes the methods, procedures and techniques used to collect and analyze information. Secondary data are those which have been collected by some other person for their purpose and published. So a researcher is said to make use of data already collected by some other person. The secondary data are collected mainly from Internet

Scope of the study

Scope of the study includes the various aspects covered in the study It was done over a period of one week. The study helps me to integrate class room knowledge with the real situation. Such studies will help me to build competency, communication skill and to undergo future projects in an easier way.

BULLET TRAIN IN INDIA

India's first bullet train is all set to be introduced in Kerala. State planning Board member and chairman of the high speed rail company,E.Sreedharan(former DMRC chairman ) had discussed with japan. Japanese agreed to provide Kerala with its most advanced BuulletTrains. The project is link Thiruvanthapuram and the Northern districts up to Mangalore. The rail journey from TVM to MGLR which takes 15 hours, will be reduced to just 3 hours with the project coming into being.

 Great news is that Japan ahs also agreed to finance 70% of the High Speed Rail Corridor Project. The proposed Corridors would span 560 KM setup on 13 meter wide spillars,and is expected to be commissioned by march 2020. The train will be able to carry 817 passengers per journey and while the travel time between Kochi and TVM will be about 20 minutes instead of normal 4-5 hours, the ticket rate per ticket will be around Rs 1000. The state has made a provision of 50 crores in the current financial years budget which is expected to be raised to Rs 25000 crores in capital expenditure in the next two years.

 The estimated cost for this Bullet train project is around 1.20 lakh crores and state expects to get a loan from Japan International Corporation Agency(JICA) for the low interest rate. This project will benefit to Kerala economically and environmentally helping Kerala to contribute towards creating less-polluted planet for the future generations.

BULLET TRAIN INKERALA

Kerala is likely to be the first Indian state to have a bullet-train. High speed railway line project between Mangalore and Thiruvanthapuram{DMRC}. Kerala expects to get loan from JICA for the project for Rs.1,20,000 crore. (with low interest rate). Bullet train will reach Kochi from Thiruvananthapuram in53 minutes and Mangalore in2 hours 36 minutes.

KOCHI METRO

The kochi metro rail project is the Long Cherished dream of the citizens of Kochi City. Kochi metro Rail Ltd was formed on 2nd Aug 2011. There is little scope for prosperity development in Kochi along the corridor due to non-availability of land and population density. The elevated metro rail occupies only about 1.80 metre width of the road. It require only about 1/5 energy per passenger Kilometre. The total cost of the Kochi Metro project is 5,181.79 crore (US$979.36 million)

 On 22 December 2004, the Government of Kerala assigned the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) the task of preparing the detailed project report (DPR) for the Kochi Metro rail. It was expected to start by 2006 and complete by 2010. But the project was delayed because the Central Government expressed serious doubts about the economic viability of the project. The political rivalry between the LDF government in Kerala and the UPA government at the Centre was a major reason for such developments and the slow down in the project. . The change in government in Kerala changed that scenario, making the Kochi Metro one of the top priorities of the UDF government

Kochi Metro will follow the Chennai Metro and Delhi Metro models and will be implemented on a joint venture basis, with investments by the Central and State Governments A cabinet decision was taken to form a special purpose vehicle (SPV) called Kochi Metro Rail Ltd. (KMRL) as per orders from Planning Commission and the Union Government for the implementation, operation and maintenance of the metro project Construction The Kochi Metro connecting Aluva-Petta will be completed in three stages and separate tenders will be awarded through bids. Each stage will be approximately 8 km. The advantage of this approach is that different contractors can take part in the work. KMRL decided to set up parking space at all metro stations based on the request from civil Society organisations.

 The current plan for Phase II is to extend the metro: Extension from Aluva to Angamaly via the Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery Extension from Petta to Tripunithura Branch line from Palarivattom to InfoPark, Kochi via Kakkanad The KMRL board will decide in October 2012 whether to add an extension to Fort Kochi in Phase II. Power: will acquire 20MW of electricity annually, to operate the metro. The electricity will by supplied from the Kaloor substation of the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB).

Technical Details Of kochi Metro Rail

The proposed alignment is from Alwaye to Petta,a length of 25.612 Kilometres with 22 stations in between covering 7 villages and requiring 31.9216 hectares of land. The fare collections will be done through automatic fare collection system with combination of smart card and computerized paper tickets and estimated fare free Rs 12 to Rs 30.

The initial capacity of train is 600 passengers.

 Project contribution
Government of india-Rs.1002.23 crores Government of kerala-Rs.2009.56 crores JICA Loan- Rs 2170 crores Total project cost being Rs.5181.79 crores

MONORAIL
The Monorail has a single, narrow track which is usually elevated, but which can also be built at ground level or underground. The State Government is now planning to introduce monorails as a safe and efficient means of public transport in the cities of Trivandrum and Kozhikode The biggest advantage of the monorail is that it requires very little land- which in itself is a winning point in Kerala where land is at a premium. Monorail is the long term and effective solution for transportation problems.

Permission from Public Investment Board of Central government has already been received. Both central and state governments have made a major budget allocation for the project Procedures to get loan from Japan International Cooperation for the project worth Rs.5181 crore are being progressed. The Ministry of Urban Development predicts an average city speed of 6 to 8 kilometres per hour in 2030, which is the average speed of the morning walker, and Kerala with its urbanity almost lying contiguous over its 14 districts.
