Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train to run on track at speed of…, its ticket prices are…, to run on these route…
India’s high-speed rail project, also called the Bullet Train, will soon run on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor, drastically cutting travel time. The project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed soon, marking a major leap in railway infrastructure. The ambitious project is being built by the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) and aims to reduce travel time while improving safety and comfort in rail transport.
The train is expected to reach speeds of up to 320 km per hour, significantly reducing travel time between the two major cities.
The project is utilising advanced Japanese Shinkansen technology, known for its safety and reliability. It also includes improvements in signalling systems and railway design standards. To support the Make in India initiative, technology transfer will enable the local production of crucial high-speed rail components, thereby strengthening domestic industries.
The 508-kilometre Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor will link twelve major stations, significantly reducing travel time between the two cities. This project is expected to enhance regional connectivity, stimulate economic growth, and ease traffic congestion.
Fares on the new line will vary depending on the distance traveled. A trip from Thane to BKC (approximately 20 minutes) is estimated at ₹250, whereas a journey from Virar to BKC (around 24 minutes) is projected to cost approximately ₹500. The route includes twelve stations: Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad, and Sabarmati. These stations will offer upgraded amenities such as high-speed platforms, comfortable waiting areas, and accessible features.
Notably, the construction of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor is progressing rapidly and visible developments can be seen in Gujrat. The Surat-Bilimora segment is expected to complete soon and likely ito be operational by 2026, with full corridor completion anticipated by 2030.
