Case Study Rails of the Future: A Comparative Analysis of Railway Production and Design in India and Japan Abstract Railway systems play a critical role in national economic development, urban mobility, and sustainable transportation. In Asia, India and Japan represent two distinct yet influential models of railway modernization. While Indian Railways is rapidly upgrading through indigenous semi-high-speed trains such as Vande Bharat under the “Make in India” initiative, Japanese Railways continue to lead globally with the Shinkansen system, emphasizing safety, punctuality, and technological precision. This comparative case study analyzes emerging trends in railway production and design in both countries, focusing on Industry 4.0 adoption, sustainability, safety engineering, and system integration. Using a qualitative comparative framework, the study highlights strengths, limitations, and strategic complementarities between the two models. The findings suggest that India’s ...
