2030 target is to get merchandise exports over 1 trillion dollar. I don't that will be possible in this global economy. I feel services has better chance than merchandise exports. India is trying to grow when the whole world is anti globalization. So it is not going to be easy
 
Bharat is inching closer to putting a Bullet train on its tracks.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1928058476426645736

Japan is providing India with one E5 and one E3 series Shinkansen train set free of charge. These trains are intended for use as inspection and testing vehicles on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail corridor, which is currently under construction. The delivery is scheduled for early 2026, and the trains will be equipped with specialized inspection equipment to collect operational data under India's unique environmental conditions, such as high temperatures and dust.

The primary purpose of this donation is to aid in the development and adaptation of the next-generation E10 series Shinkansen trains, which are planned for introduction in the early 2030s. The E10 series will serve as the main passenger trains for the corridor. However, since the E10 trains will not be ready in time for the partial opening of the line, aimed for August 2027, the E5 and E3 trains will help in gathering crucial operational data to fine-tune the design of the E10 for Indian conditions.

This gesture is part of the broader collaboration between Japan and India on the high-speed rail project, which is largely funded by a low-interest loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), covering about 80% of the costs. The financial structure includes a repayment period of 50 years at a nominal interest rate of 0.1%.

India is extremely lucky to have these. I've been to Japan four times and I've always loved riding the bullet trains there.

I had a friend in the Pakistan embassy to Japan at one point. Japan actually offered a very good deal to Pakistan and the idiots in charge turned it down in favor of more expensive Chinese lending.

Congratulations.

Interesting.
China is the current world leader in fast trains. I would love to know about Pakistan’s plans to transform its railways. It’s long term, extremely capital intensive and even we have been very slow in progressing.

Being an American, I can't say much as I haven't studied it heavily. It seems like a vanity project when there are critical needs elsewhere.
Daewoo has a very good intercity bus network that I used last time I visited Pakistan.
The Japan China rail wars across Asia interest me however. Both sides seem determined to get their trains into other countries. There will be a line opening between Dallas and Houston in the near future particularly as Japan was mainly building it.
It seems like high speed rail is the long term solution for most mid-sized countries. Fuel prices have dropped recently but at some point they will rise again, and we can't rely on aviation without deciding some new source of power outside of electric batteries.

The main issue is my fraud mamata ammayi, that piece of trash just opens the border gates so these cockroaches can flood in.

For all the positives Modi government has done, they have been pathetic when it comes to dealing with the cockroach problem from Bangladesh....

why would they want to take back their poor people? their version of development is to push all their refugees and poor people to Indian states and proclaim development . they are the worst of worst. If you have travelled to Dhaka and dealt with them in any sort of business you will know. Having worked/working with businesses on both side of the border, i would gladly take Pakistanis over Bangladeshis any day. Pakistani people and businesses are more trustworthy, capable, humble and want to work together whereas Bangladeshis look to pull you down, backstab at any given opportunity.

When Pakistanis and our leftist crew in India join hands and cry together to have PM Modi removed, you absolutely know PM Modi is the right man for the job...

It's unfortunate India found him at an elderly age as PM, an early 50 year old version of PM Modi at the helm of India would have been fascinating to see.
 
Congratulations to all Kashmiris & Hindustanis on this landmark achievement.

To our captive brothers in PoK, it is our promise that we will free you from the chains of slavery very soon so that you can enjoy the same infrastructure and opportunities that free Kashmiris in Bharat are enjoying.

India opens world's highest single-arch railway bridge in Kashmir

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated the world's highest single- arch railway bridge in Indian-administered Kashmir. The term "single-arch bridge" typically refers to a bridge with a single, continuous arch spanning between two supports.

The bridge will connect the valley region of Kashmir with the rest of the country by train for the very first time.

The showpiece infrastructure project, which is built over the Chenab river, is 35m (114ft) taller than the Eiffel Tower and took the Indian Railways more the 20 years to build.

It is part of a 272km (169 miles) all-weather railway line that will pass through Jammu, ultimately going all the way to the Kashmir valley.

Gotta give it to the current government, the infrastructure building the country has witnessed has been the best ever since independence over the last 3 terms.

Before India was stuck with the fraud Vadra, pappu the gandi, ammayi Sonya the Scam money off to Italia, Arundathi Roy the god of no things contributing to the ruin of the country...
 
India has emerged as a crucial factor in offsetting a sharp global rise in poverty following the World Bank's announcement of a significant revision to the International Poverty Line (IPL). The Bank raised the IPL from USD 2.15 per day (2017 purchasing power parity) to USD 3.00 per day (2021 PPP), a shift that would have otherwise increased the global tally of extreme poor by 226 million people.

India's updated consumption data and improved survey methodology played a pivotal role in cushioning the impact-bringing its own poverty rate down to 5.25 per cent in 2022-23 under the new threshold, and contributing to a net global increase of just 125 million, a government release said, citing World Bank data.

"India's poverty decline is a story of technical refinement meeting policy results. In the face of a raised poverty benchmark, India showed that more honest data, not diluted standards, can reveal real progress. As the global community recalibrates poverty goals, India's example sets a precedent: evidence-based governance, sustained reforms, and methodological integrity can together deliver transformational outcomes," the release said.

The country's poverty rate dropped sharply from 16.22 per cent in 2011-12 to just 5.25 per cent in 2022-23. In absolute numbers, India reduced its population living under the poverty line from 205.9 million in 2011-12 to 75.2 million in 2022-23, marking a remarkable decline of over 125 million.

I can't help but be a slight homer here, the infrastructure push under the BJP government has been a game changer in just 3 terms....

Well done, keep up the good work, keep focusing on infrastructure, economy and poverty 👏 👍....

India will become a developed country in the next 20 years at the current rate...

Population control is the key.....
 
Report of India has discovered " Guyana sized oil discovery in Andaman Sea"

The news of India’s game-changer $20 Trillion oil jackpot in Andaman Sea was overshadowed by the tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad..!

If everything goes well, nobody can stop India’s rise as an Energy Titan.

If true it will help reduce our reliance on gulf countries and Russia for our oil requirements.

Still all are reports not confirmed news.

Thread 'Under new World Bank threshold, over 44% Pakistanis now live below poverty line'

ISLAMABAD: Around 44.7% of Pakistan’s population is now considered to be living below the poverty line, according to the World Bank’s newly updated global poverty threshold set at $4.20 per person per day and released this week.

Christina Wieser, senior economist at the World Bank and Tobias Haque, lead country economist for World Bank Pakistan, told media on Thursday the Bank was updating its global poverty lines to reflect changes in the cost of living and consumption habits of people around the world based on newly available data.

Tesla set to open first India showroom in Mumbai by mid-July with Chinese EVs, says report​


Tesla Inc. is set to open its first showrooms in India in July, kicking off formal operations in the world’s third-biggest automobile market as the Elon Musk-led firm hunts for growth amid falling sales in Europe and China, people familiar with the discussions said.

According to a Bloomberg report, Tesla's first set of cars have arrived in India – Model Y rear-wheel drive SUVs shipped from Tesla’s China factory, according to the people, who asked not to be identified as the information is private, as well as documents seen by Bloomberg News. The Model Y is the world’s largest selling electric car.

The first showroom is set to open in Mumbai as early as mid-July, which will be followed by one in New Delhi, the report, citing sources, said. It has also imported Supercharger components, car accessories, merchandise and spares from the US, China and the Netherlands, the documents show.

The debut will end a years-long on-again, off-again saga over Tesla’s entry into India - a market Musk has long eyed but held back from entering due to disagreements over tariffs and local manufacturing. The breakthrough in bringing Tesla to India comes after Musk met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the US in February.

Bloomberg News reported in February that Tesla was set to ship a few thousand cars to a port near Mumbai.
Tesla spokespersons did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on opening of the India showrooms and the preparations underway.

Five Model Y vehicles have already arrived in Mumbai from Tesla’s Shanghai factory, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg News. The cars were declared at 2.77 million rupees ($31,988) and attracted more than 2.1 million rupees in import duties — a levy that’s consistent with India’s 70 per cent tariff on fully-built imported cars under $40,000 plus surcharges, the documents show.

The model is expected to go on sale for more than $56,000 before taxes and insurance, though Tesla will determine the final sticker price based on its margin and positioning strategy, according to people familiar with the plans.

That compares with an ex-showroom price of $44,990 for the same model in the US, which sells for $37,490 once tax credits are applied.

The premium price tag will likely be a major hurdle to Tesla’s plans as the automaker will need to convince value-driven consumers to open their wallets. EVs account for just over 5 per cent of new passenger vehicle sales in India, but premium cars still represent less than 2 per cent of the market, data with Indian government’s vehicle registration portal show.

The company hasn’t appointed a new country head following the departure of Prashanth Menon, but is beefing up hiring across charging, retail and policy teams, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Model Y imports represent an initial foray into the market and Tesla plans to expand its presence, including offering more models.

It’s leasing warehouse space in Karnataka, in India’s south, and is adding more in Gurugram, outside New Delhi, the people said.

Tesla executives from other countries are making weekly visits, the people said, to the Mumbai and New Delhi showrooms, which are in high-profile, luxury business precincts in an effort to attract affluent shoppers.

I thought Chinese EVs were banned in the Indian market. Bad move, this is like allowing Huawei to operate in India...

Also Elon Musks Starlink given clearance in India is another huge security issue...

Not good.

A lot of those discussions occurred before Operation Sindoor and Trump's betrayal in war against terrorism.
This will be reviewed now. No special favours to Americans must be given in the current political climate.

While our overall infrastructure is doing good but the basic infrastructure esp in tier-1 cities need to be overhauled, the municipal corporation nonsense isn’t working, need a change.
