印网友：中国有那么多高铁，为什么印度一条高铁都没有

Why does China have so many bullet trains, even overnight bullet trains, while India doesn't have any?

为什么中国有那么多高铁，甚至有过夜车，为何印度一条高铁都没有？

Because investment in such projects are seen as pro-rich and anti-poor.

Currently a big majority of Indians cannot afford to travel by 3 AC, let alone bullet trains. So most of the trains have only a few AC coaches with large number of sleeper coaches. Indian Railways neither have money nor the technology to make high speed trains. Thus any such project would require a huge capital investment for transfer of technology. This makes it unpopular amongst those who cannot afford bullet trains.

在印度，高铁被认为是为富人修的，穷人是坐不起的

目前，相当一部分印度人坐不起三等空调车厢，高铁就更坐不起了

正因如此，印度火车大都数只有几节空调车厢，卧铺车厢很多。

印度既没有资金，也没有技术修高铁。

修高铁需要巨额投资，需要技术转让。

China, on the other hand, has an authoritative government. If the government decides to do something, it just does it. . So Chinese govt. can invest heavily in infrastructure and it has done so in the last two decades. China has made a network of bullet trains which is longer than rest of the world combined. The tickets are also affordable to the common people of China so the ridership is going high every year and has already surpassed 1 Billion mark.

India has started a high speed rail project between Mumbai and Ahmedabad which has brought enormous criticisms from oppositions. This is expected to be completed by 2022. 80% funding of the project will be given by Japan (JICA) which has helped Indian govt to make the decision finally. This is a first in the long pending project Diamond Quadrilateral which has the objective to connect the 4 metro cities of India with high speed and semi high speed trains. Delhi-Amritsar corridor is expected to be the next to get high speed rail network.

而中国的政策推行起来容易，可以大规模修建基础设施。

过去20年，中国就是这么做的。

中国已经建成了世界最大的高铁网，比其他国家加起来都更长。

中国高铁票价亲民，老百姓都坐得起，上座率很高。

印度已经开工了第一条高铁，丛孟买至艾哈迈达巴德，不过招来了反对派的批评。

印度这条高铁预计2022年完工。其中80%的资金由日本贷款。

Quick Decision making : India is a democracy, hence the decision to implement any project is influenced by many factors, Whereas China has a S-ule, they can decide quicker than we assume.

决策问题，印度是国家，任何工程都会受到诸多因素的影响，而中国决策速度快。

Very minimal Judicial Activism : Think of Land acquisition in India, the Civil cases drag for years, whereas in China this is not the case.

印度征地难，一个案子会拖上好多年，而中国不会面临这一问题的困扰

Subsidy : In normal trains, the passenger fares are subsidized by the goods(in India), which is the least possible thing to do in Bullet trains, so the bullet train tickets would look like overpriced tickets and will become the transport of elites.
Finance : (a) China has lot of domestic funds to fund their project, which India lacks(hence India rely on Foreign investors like Japan). (b) India has a very less amount of people paying the proper tax, which is the major cause for this finance issue.

补贴问题，乘坐普通火车，票价得到补贴了的，而买高铁票，不可能有补贴。

这么一来，高铁票价就太贵了

还有就是资金问题，中国财力雄厚，修得起高铁，而印度资金不足。

印度老实纳税的人不多，造成印度财政拮据。

Simple reasons is we are democracy whenever we do anything there are multiple debates, huge decision making process hundreds of ill-advised cases against projects like this,bureaucracy and down right Lazy ass officials who care less (even youth of this country think ‘ek bar govt job milgai baat hi khatam, sirf baitho aur khao’) and after all the hurdles are passed when we get to building it the govt changes and they scrap the entire project for political game.

我们是国家，做任何事情都要争论一番。

等一切障碍都消除了，政府又换届了，然后废除整个工程，这就是政治游戏

Second is we Indians hate any change take for example : Launch of first rajdhani 1969 everybody hated it , why do we need it ‘jo hai wahi accha hai’. Even then Chairman Railway Board didnt like the Idea. but you can see what difference it has made. In short China doesn't care if this project makes money or what its cost to public like we have to do.

其次是，我们印度人不喜欢改变，比如，1969年首次运营的rajdhani特快，当时招到所有人的反感。

当时连铁路局主席都不大支持。

现在还不是好好的。

总之，中国才不管高铁是否赚钱，这是我们做不到的

Every time the govt comes out with change we criticise oppose it. Where as China has a d-rial leader who wants to be a super power and forces it's people to aim for the achievement of becoming a super power. That's the reason they have more bullet trains and the one our government is initiating is already being apposed by the same people who want development

每次政府要做出改变，我们就出来批评，就出来反对

而中国决心成为超级大国，并为此付出不懈努力。

这就是他们能修那么多高铁的原因。

印度政府启动了高铁，然后遭到了人们的反对，而恰恰是这些人希望看到发展，真令人讽刺

China has the infrastructure, technology and the experience to build, manage and maintain Bullet trains. They made a conscious decision more than a decade ago.

India has none of the above and nor was it a priority with conventional tracks and trains in place.

India is now moving in that direction

中国有修高铁的技术，有修高铁的经验，也有运营高铁的经验。

10年前，中国做出了修高铁的明智决定

而以上方面都是印度所不具备的。

不过，印度正在朝这一方面前进。
