Will India’s first private train of new era run between Mumbai and Bhuj?

According to sources, five Gujarati industrialists from Kutch Shri Jadavjibhai anchorwala, Sundarjibhai Shah Sanosaravala, Shantibhai Mekoni, Pravinkumar Chheda and Hemantkumar Rambhiya recently met central railway minister Dinesh Trivedi(originally from Kutch) and adviser to railway Shri Sam Pitroda(originally from Surendranagar) in Delhi to discuss this initiative.

According to sources, Sam Pitroda has asked railway experts to prepare a detailed project on possibility of starting a private passenger train between Mumbai and Bhuj. The project is in very primary stage as of now and can take time to materialist.

According to sources, Sam Pitroda is of opinion that if there can be private airlines and private freight train service in the country, why not private passenger train too?
