    Konkan Railways is a major rail line on India's western coast connecting Mumbai to Mangalore. It runs through a very difficult terrain of Western Ghats which almost made it impossible to build.
    Despite these challenges it was constructed in 1990s at a cost of ₹ 3,555 Crore.

    Konkan Railway line was made possible because of George Fernandes then Railway minister of India , Madhu Dandavate then Finance minister of India and Ramakrishna Hegde former chief minister of Karnataka state by forming Konkan Railway Corporation Limited in 1990 to finance the project as Indian Railways did not have funds to execute Konkan Railway line from Roha in Maharashtra state to Thokur in Karnataka state. Else this dream of people of west coast would not have fulfilled.
    Whole railway line was completed in 1998 and first train ran complete length on 26 January 1998.

      Yes but not for another 10yrs . The first phase of bullet train is for metropolitan cities and , the next phase is for branching these routes . It's quite expensive but considering we will have 10 trillion + GDP by 2034 it's possible

    A very informative and nice viďeo, but the hindi subtitle text has lots of errors which do not synchronize with the commentary. This must be còrrected.

    The tracks need to be doubled, currently single line is operational which takes long time. 🤔
