Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p India has one of the largest rail networks in the world but does not have any high-speed rail (HSR) lines capable of supporting speeds of 200 km/h (124 mph) or more. High-speed corridors have been proposed but not implemented.Currently, the fastest train in India is the Bhopal Shatabdi, which has a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph). HSR can run at a top speed of 506 km/h (314 mph), if legacy technologies are not used. Indian Railways use broad gauge for trunk railways; if the same gauge is used for HSR, maglev HSR can have an operational speed of 550 km/h (342 mph), with maximum speed going above 600 km/h, as broad gauge allows bigger trains, higher speeds and more stability. A standardization body will evaluate different options available and provide a common standard to be implemented across India. India also has a need to choose between Super Speed trains (max 581 km/h – average 450 km/h) and high-speed trains (max 300 km/h – average 200 km/h) for the 21st century and beyond. HSR is still on the drawing board without any official long-term implementation plan for HSR announced, but first railway lines are expected to become operational between 2030 and 2035.India is currently focusing on high-speed railway track rather than high-speed rail, so that Indian rails can run faster on the current tracks, with a maximum speed at around 160 to 200 km/h; clocking average of 130 km/h.Election manifestos for 2014 general elections of two major national parties of India, BJP and Congress, have promised high-speed rail for India.
