The Rail Minister had earlier indicated that bullet trains and semi-high speed trains are in the pipeline. Gowda had said, " (High speed trains) are not possible within a year or two but we should look into that direction. The budget will focus on amenities for commuters and it will benefit India in the long run."<br /><br />The rail finance bill is traditionally regarded by economists as setting the stage for the national budget, due Thursday, in which the government will lay out its economic reform plans.<br />Prime Minister Modi last week said in a speech he hopes for more private sector money in modernising the railways, still the main form of long-distance travel for most of India's population of 1.2 billion people.<br /><br />"We want the railway stations to have better facilities than airports. This is our dream," said Mr Modi, whose government is expected to announce more public-private partnerships in railway infrastructure.<br />"You will see a change in near future," he said, adding that "private parties would also be ready to invest because this is a good project economically and will benefit everyone".<br />Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which took office in May after scoring a landslide election win, has also said it favours a greater role for private business in building other infrastructure such as roads and ports.<br /><br /><br /><br />For More information on this news visit: http://www.itvnewsindia.com/<br />For More information on this news, visit: http://www.itvnewsindia.com/hindi<br />Connect with us on Social platform at: http://www.facebook.com/IndiaNewsTV<br />Subscribe to our You Tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/itvnewsindia
