In Bihar, railways have begun developing a strategy to pass bullet trains at 350 km/h. A 260-kilometer elevated track will be constructed in five state districts for this purpose. For this, instructions have been given to write a thorough project report. The National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited will shortly choose the agency.

The Varanasi-Patna-Howrah High-Speed Rail Corridor, which will span around 799.293 kilometers, includes this project. As part of this project, tracks will be built in Patna, Buxar, Ara, Jehanabad, and Gaya, among other districts of Bihar. There will be two stages to the completion of this project.

The High-Speed Rail Corridor between Varanasi, Patna, and Howrah

Elevated rails from Varanasi DDU, Ara, Buxar, Patna, and Gaya to Howrah will be built in the first phase. Tracks from Delhi to Varanasi will be built in the second phase.

In the Patna district, an elevated track of 60.9 kilometers in length would be constructed, requiring 135.06 hectares of land.

For this project, the land purchase procedure has already started. In the Patna district, the land of 58 villages has been recognized. Landowners in metropolitan areas will get double the compensation, while those in rural regions would receive four times the circular rate.
