That's about half of a yearly train pass for Switzerland (2nd class). The pass allowes you to travel in virtually any mode of transportation without restrictions. Except for taxis, some boats and some mountain railways.
So yeah, that's pretty steep.

The longest distance passenger train on the Indian network takes close to 80 hours one way.
