"I want to win China and plan a big heel!" Japan fell into the "Indian high -speed rail dilemma"

Mumbai-Ahmed Bad high-speed rail was unveiled by Indian Prime Minister Modi and then then the then Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It was originally planned to open operations on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of India this year, but countless challenges and postponed. The completion date is postponed to at least December 2028.

During the reporter in India, he knew the background of this high -speed rail project. Mumbai-Ahmed Bad high-speed rail is the first high-speed railway in India. India has always hoped to transform and upgrade the old and backward railway systems, and then drive the "manufacturing of India." Facing the Indian railway market, China and Japan were actively striving for. Japan, especially in this area, spent Modi in November 2016. In November 2016, Modi visited Japan. The then Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made an exception to modify the reception plan and invited Modi to take the new trunk line. The purpose was to promote the new trunk line to India. Although the Indian Japan did not sign the high -speed rail agreement at the time, Japan hoped to show its own fists by winning the Indian contract with China. To this end, Japan offers 5 trillion yen low -interest loans as competitive chips. At that time, China was also trying to enter the Indian high -speed rail market and did a lot of work for this. But in the end, for geopolitical considerations, India boldly gave the first high -speed rail project to Japan.

However, from the perspective of Japanese media, this project is currently facing three major difficulties: one is the delay of land acquisition. According to Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" on June 11, 96%of the land acquisition of Gujarat in 2018 has been reached. But as of September 2021, Mahara Satrabon levied only 30%of the land.

The second is that the cost of engineering continues to swell. According to Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" reported on June 14, the total cost of the Japanese government's calculation was 1.68 trillion yen, but the epidemic caused the construction to postpone the extension of the construction, increasing the labor cost, and the cost has expanded to about 3 trillion yen. According to the Asahi Shimbun, the current target period has been opened within 2023 to 2028, but how much engineering costs need to be filled, but they are not willing to make public. An executive of a Japanese international company reviewed in an interview with the Global Times special reporter in Japan that the total engineering fee estimated by the Japanese government at the beginning "can be seen that a little experienced person can see that it cannot be handled at all. Obviously the government The project took off his teeth and deliberately lowered the quotation. At that time, the government fought high -speed rail business war with China and other places. In order to win, he could not care about so much. " The executive also said that although the opening time was postponed from 2023 to 2028, no one believed that it could be opened to traffic in 2028.

Third, both daily India does not trust each other. "Asahi Shimbun" revealed on June 11 that the expansion of the project cost is mainly due to India's request to re -modify the elevated design of the line. It is believed that only in this way can the collision of domestic animals such as high -speed rail and cattle and sheep. In addition, the Indian government insists that the cost generated by the modification of the line design must be borne by the Japanese side. In order to reduce costs, companies responsible for civil engineering have to be replaced by Japanese companies. This change has also made the Indian government believe that in the beginning, Indian companies were not needed, that is, Japan is engaged in ghosts. The two sides are currently in a state of distrust.

Not only is the Japanese people angry, the Indians are also divided into two factions. One faction fully supports it. It is believed that this is a symbol of the new India. The other faction believes that the cost is too high and it can be used to improve other infrastructure. The netizen named "Desmk" said, "Is the bullet train more economical? Mumbai arrives at Ahamedbad to only 1,800 rupees, and the bullet fare is 3,000 rupees. Which is more meaningful?" Another netizen named Shilma said that the Japanese will lose interest in this high -speed railway. No country can take over. Some large Indian companies will take over in the name of self -reliance. Indian taxpayers will eventually pay the project double Double loan.
