<h1>Government launches 7,000 km high-speed rail plan to 2047 with indigenous signalling, hydrogen train, and Make-in manufacturing</h1> The government announced strategic initiatives to advance domestic rail technology and infrastructure, including plans for dedicated high-speed passenger corridors totaling about 7,000 km by 2047, indigenous signalling systems and Operations Control Centres, and a domestically designed hydrogen train. Authorities reported record rolling-stock production and the signing of 40 MoUs with public-sector rail entities and industry partners to cooperate on rolling stock, signalling, sustainability, safety and digital integration, plus a joint capacity-building agreement with an academic institute. The policy emphasis on 'Make in' manufacturing and export orientation may affect future procurement rules, intellectual-property arrangements, compliance obligations under MoUs, and regulatory approvals for new technologies.
