This is the first time that the Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson has mentioned Taiwan in a standalone statement.
According to reports, the express train was going from the capital city of Taipei to the southeastern Taiwanese city of Taitung on Friday and it crashed inside a tunnel.
At least 50 people were reportedly killed and over 150 injured in the accident.
India does not have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, but both sides have trade and people-to-people ties. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory.
