Bullet Train Project completion date REVEALED! Indian Railways gives massive update, work will be completed by..., it will cost...
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has said that the bullet train corridor between Vapi and Sabarmati will be completed by December 2027. The minister further added that the entire project from Maharashtra to the Sabarmati section is expected to be completed by December 2029. The high-speed rail project covering 508 kilometers between Ahmedabad and Mumbai is likely to be completed by December 2029.
While addressing the Parliament, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the bullet train project is highly complex and technically intensive, and an exact completion timeline can only be determined once all related construction works—such as civil structures, tracks, electrical systems, signaling and telecommunication, and train set supply—are completed. Here are some of the key details: The MAHSR (Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail) project is being built with technical and financial assistance from the Japanese government.
The project passes through the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, and the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
The project plans to build 12 stations at Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad, and Sabarmati. Bullet Train Costing: The Railway Minister said that as of June 30, 2025, a total of Rs 78,839 crore has been spent on the project.
The total estimated cost of the MAHSR (Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail) project is around Rs 1,08,000 crore
Out of Rs 1,08,000 crore, 81 percent — approximately ₹88,000 crore — is being funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
The remaining 19 percent — about ₹20,000 crore — is being funded through equity contributions by the Ministry of Railways (50 percent) and the state governments of Maharashtra and Gujarat (25 percent each). Why is there a delay in the Bullet Train project?
The Union Minister,while addressing the Parliament, said that the project was impacted until 2021 due to delays in land acquisition in Maharashtra. However, at present, the entire land required for the MAHSR project (1,389.5 hectares) has been acquired. The final location survey and geotechnical investigations have also been completed, and the alignment has been finalized.
Additionally, all statutory approvals related to wildlife, Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ), and forests have been obtained, and all civil contracts for the project have been awarded.
