Talgo is providing a train set to establish feasibility of 200kph (125mph) operation on trunk routes in India, potentially halving travel time between Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai on the so called Golden Quadrilateral routes.

If this project succeeds, suddenly India will have many more kms of 125mph higher speed routes than the US within a decade or so!
