India electrified more than 80% railway tracks. Also all new trains are electric. What do you mean by dated?

He quite possibly thinks Indians are still using trains and infrastructure left behind by the Brits.

Recently, a high-speed rail project in my state was abandoned because of public protest. Also, the Bullet train project in Mumbai was stalled by the previous state government. It's not easy to get things done in India like China.

Lol what

India's railway modernisation efforts are possibly dwarfed only by China's (which is in an entirely different league of its own). India runs about 20,000 trains daily and a majority of them are electric. Indian coach car factories are pumping out about 15 new modern coaches every day to replace older coaches. There is also a new generation of semi-HSR trainset that has been developed in India and the factories are expected to produce 1 trainset per week in the coming year. There is also a tender put out for private players to produce 200 of these new trainsets in the next few years.

India has also undertaken a massive project of laying down new modern railway routes entirely dedicated to freight, which would free up existing lines for passanger services. There are also about 22 new metro rail lines under construction in cities across India. There is also a proper Shinkansen project puttering along (the progress is painfully slow imo). The scale of these things is gargantuan, so what did you base your moronic comment on?
