Railway Minister Piyush Goyal has come up with 100-day plan to achieve the Mumbai-Delhi train distance in 10 hours from the existing 15.5 hours by increasing speed in the sector to 160 kmph. The plan will come into effect four years from the day it is ready. To take the plan ahead, a Multiple Electric Mainline Unit train arrived in Mumbai quietly entering the Kalwa car shed so that trials at 160kmph could begin right away.

This is one among the 11 top prioritized subjects that the railway ministry intends to achieve with the railway board chairman sounding out a note to all railway zones with a directive to implement an action plan by August 31.
