The current fastest train in India is the Gatimaan Express with a top speed of 160 km / h (99 mph), which only runs between Delhi and Jhansi . </P> <P> Prior to the 2014 general election, the two major national parties (Bharatiya Janata Party and Indian National Congress (INC)) pledged to introduce high - speed rail . The INC pledged to connect all of India's million - plus cities by high - speed rail, whereas BJP, which won the election, promised to build the Diamond Quadrilateral project, which would connect the cities of Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai via high - speed rail . This project was approved as a priority for the new government in the incoming president's speech . Construction of one kilometer of high speed railway track will cost ₹ 100 crore (US $15 million) - ₹ 140 crore (US $21 million) which is 10 - 14 times higher than the cost of construction of standard railway . </P>
