Proposed high speed rail network. In 2009, Indian Railways envisioned a plan to increase the speed of passenger trains to 160–200 km/h (99–124 mph) on dedicated conventional tracks and improve the existing conventional lines on 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) Broad gauge to handle speeds of up to 160 km/h (99 mph).

[19] [20] India's metro network is the third longest in the world, behind China and USA. A further 779.27 km of lines are under construction. Apart from the Kolkata Metro (which has its own zone under Indian Railways), [21] these rapid transit metro lines are not operated by Indian Railways, but a separate set of
Super high-speed rail. In 2016, Indian Railways explored the possibility of maglev trains to implement an over-500-kilometre-per-hour (310 mph) speed rail system. [46] [47] In February 2019, a train model based upon the same was unveiled by Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology capable of speeds of up to 600 km/h (370 mph). [48]
