Indian Railways News: The Narendra Modi government, in the last 10 years, has introduced a slew of measures that have transformed the face of Indian Railways. From introducing trains like Vande Bharat to 100 percent electrification of the railway tracks, the sector has witnessed many changes that have made the traveling experience of passengers convenient and comfortable. In addition to this, the government is also set to launch superfast bullet trains. According to the reports, the first Shinkansen bullet trains now undergoing trials in Japan for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) project, a future of rapid rail travel seems more tangible than ever. Although Odisha isn't included in the initial corridor, the impact of this major development could soon pave the way for cities like Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Puri to feature on India's high-speed rail map. India's First Bullet Train: In a major development, India's first bullet, which is part of the India-Japan collaboration under the MAHSR project, mark a historic first for Indian Railways. According to the reports, the trial runs of two Shinkansen train sets, one each from Japan's E5 and E3 series, are underway in Japan to test their performance under various climate and terrain conditions. These trains are capable of speeds up to 320 km/h and are expected to arrive in India by early 2026 for further testing on Indian soil. High-Speed Future of Odisha: Though the current project is confined to western India, its success is likely to fast-track the nationwide rollout of bullet train corridors. If Odisha is incorporated in the upcoming phases, the impact could be transformative. Here are some of the key details: The travel time between Bhubaneswar and New Delhi could be reduced to under six hours. Currently, the travel time between Bhubaneswar to Delhi is 27-30 hours The journey to Visakhapatnam likely to come down from nearly seven hours to less than five. A high-speed rail link to Kolkata could bring down the travel duration to around two hours and forty-five minutes. Bhubaneswar to Bengaluru, which currently takes over 24 hours, could become a manageable five-and-a-half-hour ride. Reaching Hyderabad may take just over four hours, and Chennai around four and a half.
