IT WAS THE GOVT PSU'S FIRST SUCH TRIP AFTER TITLE OF 'NAVRATNA' WAS CONFERRED ON IT BY THE CENTRE IN MARCH BY VIRTUE OF WHICH IT WILL HAVE FINANCIAL AUTONOMY

- Shashank Rao

MUMBAI: Nearly 30 people from Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore got a taste of travels on the bullet train between two stretches in Japan — Osaka to Hiroshima and Hiroshima to Tokyo — recently, thanks to the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC).

This was a part of the Indian Railways' endeavour to promote the country's ambitious, albeit delayed, bullet train project between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

It was the government PSU's first such trip after the title of 'Navratna' was conferred on it by the Centre in March, 2025, by virtue of which it will have financial autonomy and scope for global expansion.
