The Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe will visit India to begin the bullet train project, as well as to improve the commercial ties between Japan and India, especially in the field of development and defense. The scheduled arrival of the Japanese PM is on Wednesday and intended to stay for two days to discuss trade dealings along with the annual summit involving the two countries. PM Abe and PM Narendra Modi are working on the 508-km long rail bullet train project called as the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail, and the two leaders will design the foundation stone on Thursday. This project is estimated to complete by 2023 with an entire capability to run by 350 km per hour. The Japan Investment Cooperation Agency (JICA) financed this project by 80 percent as a soft loan with a very low-interest rate on a 50 year period. It could further lessen the time spent in traveling from Mumbai to Ahmedabad which is from seven hours down to two hours time travel. The remaining Rs 9,800 crore amount of funding will be carried by Indian Railways, which makes this project an expensive one. Japan’s Shinkansen Technology will fly to India and made advancement under the scheme of Make in India, says Railway minister Piyush Goyal.
