    No, not here - its the new Railway budget from Indian Railways.

    43 new trains is just a drop in the ocean when you look at these stats:
    The Indian Railways are the second largest railroad in the world under a single management, running more than 11,000 trains every day, 7,000 of which are for passengers.

    The network comprises 108,706 km and ferries 14 million passengers daily from 6,853 stations across the length and breadth of the country. This is the reason why it is the only ministry that has a separate budget.
