Delhi-Agra Mag-lev

A funny thought…
Few days ago we were talking about intercity travel times in India. Someone mentioned that the Govt. of India is looking into implementing super-fast rail corridors between major cities. Someone added that they should have mag-lev (magnetic levitation) trains instead and cut the travel times in a big way.
I just thought that if we did have a mag-lev link between say Delhi and Agra then probably they will have to shut down half the Northern Grid and divert power to the mag-lev for it to run.
We might see items in news like ‘Power supply for New Delhi to be cut off at the following times during the day for the operation of the New Delhi-Agra mag-lev’
