High speed trains will soon rule Talgo will conduct the time validation trial on Delhi-Mumbai corridor soon, the official said.
The Spanish train maker has offered to test run their lighter and faster trains free of cost.
"We will be issuing the permission letter to Talgo after getting the Railway Board's approval for importing the rake to India. They (Talgo) have offered to do the trial with no cost to railways," said the official.
The rake will be imported in knocked down condition and be assembled in India.

Besides reducing travel time, Talgo's lighter trains consume 30 per cent less energy which will help railways reduce their power bill.
The official said barring minor changes, there will be no need for overhauling the tracks for the trial run.
The process required for this will kick off once the approval of the Railway Ministry has been received, the official said.
"A lot will depend on the trial on Delhi-Mumbai sector and, if the test run is successful, we may consider it for some more routes also," he said.
