New Delhi, Jan. 9 States that want high speed rail corridors would have to start sharing costs with the Central Government right from the feasibility study stage. Indian Railways is in talks with State Governments to share the costs of feasibility studies to be undertaken for developing high speed passenger rail systems.

“We are asking State Governments (that are likely to benefit from high speed rail systems) to share the costs of the feasibility study,” Railway Board Chairman Mr K.C. Jena said recently.

Several States including Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana had responded to Indian Railways’ proposal to start high-speed passenger trains.
