SILVERLINE (SEMI-HIGH SPEED RAIL) FROM THIRUVANATHAPURAM TO KASARAGODEXECUTIVE SUMMARY1 INTRODUCTIONKerala is the union state located in the south western part of India and is considered the‘Gateway of South India’. Kerala is one of the most scenic and popular tourist destinationsin India and is among the prime states attracting the largest number of global anddomestic tourists. As per census 2011, Kerala's population is 3.4 Crores and thepopulation density of the state is about 859 persons per square kilometres, three timesthe national average. Kerala is one of the densest states in the country and it recorded adecadal population growth of 4.86%. In the human development and related indices, itoccupies prime position among the Indian States.There is a widespread realization that the economic and social life in the state of Keralasuffers due to slow speed of travel on its existing highways and railways.With capacity augmentation of existing roads beset with problems relating to limited rightof way and land acquisition, improving the rail sector in the state is the best suited solutionto meet the future needs of transport in the state.With the above objective, a joint venture agreement between Ministry of Railways,Government of India and Government of Kerala was executed on 01st September 2016for infrastructure development of Railways in the state of Kerala and Kerala RailDevelopment Corporation Limited was incorporated (now popularly known as K-Rail).Accordingly, feasibility study has been conducted between Thiruvananthapuram andKasaragod for providing a Semi High Speed Rail Corridor with potential speed of 200kmph (known as SilverLine) by M/s Systra and report was prepared and submitted toGovernment of Kerala on 20th May 2019. The Feasibility Report was approved by theGovernment of Kerala vide order No. G.O (MS) No.43/2019/Trans dated 26th August 2019and submitted to Railway Board for approval. The proposal of K-Rail was examined inMinistry of Railways and competent authority has accorded In-Principle Approval (IPA)for taking up pre investment activities for the above project vide RB letter No.2019/JVcell/KRDCL/SHSRC dated 17th December 2019.2 NEED FOR SEMI HIGH SPEED RAIL IN KERALAThe road systems in Kerala, though well connected, face severe constraints due to theurban sprawl and the haphazard ribbon development all along the routes. The existingrailway network and the highways in Kerala are not amenable for faster travel due toheavy traffic density and existence of sharp curves and steep gradients due to terrainconditions. The average speed of journey by rail and road in the state is about 30% to40% lower than that in the neighbouring states.Page 8

SILVERLINE (SEMI-HIGH SPEED RAIL) FROM THIRUVANATHAPURAM TO KASARAGODEXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe vehicular density in Kerala is one among the highest in the indian states with 361vehicles per 1000 population as of March 2018 compared with the all India average of177. Vehicular emission and noise caused by these vehicles are severe in the cities ofKerala. Road accidents, the rate in Kerala being one of the highest in the country is themajor concern for the transport planners in the state.The increasing need for movement of people and products at the local, regional, national,and international levels has placed extreme demands on transportation systems,especially in the developing world. With all existing modes of transportation gettingsaturated, a transportation network developed to meet the needs of earlier age, wherethere was less travel and less movement of materials, is ill-suited to today’s needs.In most of the major cities in Kerala, there is no space available to expand the existinghighway and rail infrastructure, and there is a strong opposition against land acquisition,environmental disturbances, etc. when such expansion is proposed. One key to solvetoday’s such transportation problems is to develop systems that meet the needs of themarkets served poorly by the existing transportation infrastructure and provide a fastermore efficient, reliable, comfortable, safer, affordable, least obtrusive and sustainabletransport system for intra-state passengers. SilverLine fits snugly in just such a niche:the medium-distance travel market—too far to drive and too short to fly- ideally fitfor a semi high speed line.The planned system will provide; Shorter travel time between cities, 4 hours between Thiruvananthapuram andKasaragod instead of the present 10-12 hours.Adequate capacity to cater to the anticipated ridership. Sustainable eco-friendly and energy efficient transport system.3 OBJECTIVE, SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY OF STUDY3.1 Prime Objectives of SilverLineThe prime objectives of SilverLine are: Providing a reliable, comfortable, safer, sustainable and affordable transportationsystem in Kerala State to bring guaranteed improvement to the transport sector inthe State and by which to improve the economy and life of the population in theState. Reducing the transportation time between Cities and across the State. Providing a model transportation system having eco-friendliness, energy prudenceand economic sense so that it becomes a model system in the whole country.Page 9

SILVERLINE (SEMI-HIGH SPEED RAIL) FROM THIRUVANATHAPURAM TO KASARAGODEXECUTIVE SUMMARY3.2 Scope of StudyThe scope of the study undertaken by M/s. SYSTRA include Studying of all data and reports available on the development and functioning ofHigh Speed and Semi High Speed Rail systems in India and abroad.Conducting field traffic study to evaluate the potential and need for the line andassess the potential.Conducting Topographical, Geotechnical and other studies to ascertain the groundfeatures for fixing the route and alignment and preliminary designing structures tocarry the line to arrive at the optimum, economical, least obstructive alignment anddesign.Conducting land study to assess land requirements. Conducting Economic Impact Assessment and Social Impact Assessment study.Studying & recommending on the system requires in operations, Rolling Stock,Signalling and Train Control, Ticketing and Fare Collection etc.Evolving a Train Operation Plan and assessing the system requirements. Costing the project including assessing the operation and maintenance cost.Finally evaluating for financial and economic viability of the project. Recommending an Implementation scheme including funding, execution, testing& operation.3.3 MethodologyMethodology of the study is collection of all details by engaging experts/agencies andstudying them as per scope. Each action of the project will involve specific techniquesand methods which will be as per international standards acceptable to the Govt. of Indiaand Govt. of Kerala and also to the Bi-Lateral funding agencies.4 REVIEW OF DATA AND REPORTSWith a view to arrive at the type of high speed or semi high speed rail system suitable forthe Kerala’s Silver Line, a thorough review of all data and reports of similar such projectsin India and abroad was carried out.4.1 World ScenarioWorld over, all major/developed countries are either already running high speed trains orconstructing or planning high speed rail projects. Speed of development of High SpeedRail systems is increasing day by day. Table 4-1 below shows extent of high speedlines available as on December 2014.Page 10
