The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project will transform the economic landscape of Ahmedabad and the entire corridor by seamlessly connecting major cities into one unified economic powerhouse. This high-speed rail initiative is seen as a catalyst for growth, investment, and regional development apart from the faster travel.

6-Hour Journey To Be Completed In 3 Hours
Another important benefit of this Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, also called as the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) is that it will reduce the travel journey between Ahmedabad and Mumbai.
This is the country’s first high-speed corridor, which is based on Japan’s Shinkansen technology. The bullet train will connect Mumbai (Maharashtra) to Ahmedabad (Gujarat). The bullet train will cover 12 stations at a speed of 320 kmph and complete the journey in 3 hours. Currently, it takes 6 hours and 45 minutes to travel from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, but the bullet train will reduce the journey by 3 hours.
When Will The Project Be Completed?
The trial runs are expected to start on the 50 km long route between Surat to Bilimora by 2026. From Vapi to Sabarmati, the route is expected to start in 2027, while the full train from Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) to Sabarmati is expected to start in the year 2028-29.
