New Delhi: In addition to a significant increase in budget allocation, the government also tends to announce the introduction of higher-speed trains that can run at 180-200 KMPH on the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) route in the Union budget that will be presented on Tuesday.

Another major focus of the budget will be in stock rolls which include 6,500 alumnium coaches, 1,240 locomotives and around 35,000 cars in an effort to fully make their fleets.
