The bullet train enthusiasts may have to wait for a little longer as Indian Railways is planning to fix in the creaking system before going fast track.

The government is planning to purchase the cheaper, safer and smarter options of the train sets before the bullet trains make way in India.

The railway ministry in this regard has announced global tenders for purchase of train sets called Electrical Multiple Units (EMU), and is looking at European countries, especially Germany, France and Spain, where such trains are popular.

The train sets will consist of driving cabins at both the ends like the suburban trains and will have the capacity to carry more passengers. These train sets are also safer as they have lesser tendency to turn turtle in case of an accident.

The country officials of France are keen to offer their expertise in semi-high speed rail technology once Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the country on his way to Germany for Hannover industrial fair.
