7) Examine the principle behind Maglev trains. What are the challenges Indian
Railways could face in running Maglev trains in India? Examine. (200 Words)
Maglev trains work on magnets for push and pull and due to reduced friction;
there are greater speeds that may reach upto 500kmph. presently the system is
operational in China and S. Korea and India tends to capitalize on the technology.
Challenges:
Economic factors
o Lack of low cost capital (Sol: Explore/design PPP models to suit the
need)
o reduced viability of charging higher fares: Current Passenger traffic
in trains is cross subsidized by freight
o Operational cost of railways are the major financial burden which
will rise further
There are numerous challenges that say that India is not ready for the
technology but again, there are indirect benefits of getting new technology,
employment generation, faster connectivity, environment friendly which make
the option worth exploring.
My thoughts: Benefits like greater connectivity would mean better business
environment, increased interaction/cohesion among different states
