India is stepping beyond being just a buyer of high-speed trains and is quietly building its own edge as a homegrown creator and future exporter of this cutting edge technology. With focused direction from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and strong backing from Home Minister Amit Shah, the country is gaining real momentum on the path to full self reliance in rail innovation. NHSRCLโs move to invite leading global players for 350 km/h trains is a smart, decisive push in that direction.
