India and China would look at collaborations in semi-high speed rail and building world-class railway stations. This was decided at the strategic and economic dialogue between the two countries earlier this month when an Indian delegation, headed by Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia, had visited Beijing. "We have discussed participation for raising speed on existing tracks to about 160-200 kilometres per hour wherein they could provide technical support," said Mr Arunendra Kumar, chairman of the Railway Board.
