Transporting 10 million tonnes of material is no small feat. Shows how crucial rail is for sustainable logistics and reducing road congestion. Hope our Indian railways can also focus more on dedicated freight lines to boost efficiency.

Gulf nations are really investing in futuristic projects. While it's good to see, I sometimes feel our media focuses too much on development abroad. We have the Vande Bharat and metro expansions happening here which deserve equal celebration! 🚄

As someone who has lived in both India and the UAE, the efficiency and long-term planning in such projects is commendable. The integration of freight and passenger networks from the start is a smart move. A lesson in integrated transport planning.

Good for them. But honestly, our Indian Railways network is far more vast and complex, carrying crores of passengers daily. The scale is incomparable. We should be proud of our own system while learning from others' tech and punctuality.

Strategic infrastructure is key for any growing economy. The UAE is building for a post-oil future. In India, we need similar urgency in completing projects like the bullet train and improving last-mile connectivity from stations.
