Mumbai To Ahmedabad In 2 Hours: Indias First Bullet Train To Start Soon; Check Expected Speed
India's First Bullet Train: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday announced that India's first bullet train between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will begin operations very soon, reducing travel time between the two cities to just 2 hours and 7 minutes. He was speaking to reporters at the Bhavnagar terminus in Gujarat after virtually flagging off three trains, namely the Ayodhya Express, Rewa Pune Express, and Jabalpur Raipur Express. He further stated that the bullet train project is progressing rapidly. 508-Kilometre Rail Corridor The 508-kilometre high-speed rail corridor will connect Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) with key cities in Gujarat, including Vapi, Surat, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad. The trains are expected to run at speeds of up to 320 km/h. Vaishnaw also outlined several upcoming railway projects in Gujarat, including a new Porbandar–Rajkot train, a Rs 135-crore coach maintenance facility at Ranavav station, a railway flyover in Porbandar, two Gati Shakti cargo terminals, and a container terminal at a developing port in Bhavnagar. He highlighted the nation's progress, saying that during the last 11 years, 34,000 km of new railway tracks have been installed under the PM Narendra Modi administration, averaging almost 12 km per day. He described the 1,300 railway stations undergoing renovation as an unprecedented endeavour in the history of Indian Railways. PM Modi's Vision Ashwini Vaishnaw pointed out that India is implementing this change while maintaining train operations and keeping stations operational, which reflects the scope of PM Modi's vision, in contrast to developed nations, where station redevelopment entails completely stopping services. Adding further, he cited the introduction of contemporary trains such as the Vande Bharat Express, the Amrit Bharat Express, and the Namo Bharat Express. Eight Amrit Bharat trains with high-class amenities and reasonably priced tickets have been introduced thus far. According to the minister, passengers have responded favorably to these new trains, which were constructed using cutting-edge technology. With the help of double-engine governments in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, significant railway projects are also progressing in those states, in addition to Gujarat, the minister highlighted.

1.8 crore jobs at risk? THESE three sectors likely to get impacted due to AI, new-age technologies, says report
New-age technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) are set to implement a 'seismic' shift in the industries affecting the jobs of more than 1.8 crore people over three key sectors by the year 2030, reported the news agency PTI. Manufacturing, Retail, and Education are the three sectors poised to be impacted by the effects of implementing AI into operations, according to the agency report. Out of the three sectors, the Manufacturing sector is expected to witness the worst hit from the AI transition, with 80 lakh workers set to be affected, followed by the Retail sector with 76 lakh jobs, and the Education sector with 25 lakh jobs affected in the next five years, reported the news agency, citing Servicenow data. High-automation roles like Change managers and Payroll clerk job roles are expected to be redefined by the AI agents, which will take over the routine coordination. However, "high-augmentation" job roles like the Implementation consultants and System admins are working and partnering with AI instead of competing with it. India's largest IT company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in the end of July 2025, announced that the company will be laying off almost 2% of its workforce, or more than 12,000 employees in the financial year 2025-26. The IT firm will focus the job cuts on the middle and senior management employees as part of its broader strategy to become 'future-ready' and focus on technological investments, AI developments, market expansion, etc. Mint reported earlier that TCS's total workforce stands at 6,13,069 people as of the April-June quarter of the financial year 2025-26. The news agency cited Sumeet Mathur, the managing director for Servicenow India Technology and Business Centre, who said that artificial intelligence is expected to create 30 lakh jobs in new technology by 2030. Artificial intelligence is also reshaping the workforce, and will "redefine" over 1.35 crore roles, said the executive, cited in the agency report. "India has a generational opportunity to lead globally by developing AI-ready talent, redesigning workflows, and reorienting business models around continuous innovation," said Sumeet Mathur. After conducting a more than 500-industry-leader survey on AI adoption, the company noted that 13.5% of tech budgets of the IT company are already pledged towards AI adoption, and one-fourth of the firms in India are already in their transformation phase. With data security as one of their top concerns, the Indian companies are highlighting the urgent need for strategic foresight and structured, cross-functional reskilling pathways in the market.
