India's first bullet train from Mumbai-Ahmedabad likely by 2028
India's dream of a high-speed bullet train is no longer just a futuristic fantasy — it's speeding closer to reality! As per the latest news reports, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) corridor, often dubbed India's bullet train project, is making rapid progress. Officials are eyeing the first run in Gujarat by 2028, with full connectivity to Mumbai expected by 2030. This project promises to transform travel between two of India's busiest cities, slashing journey times from over 7 hours to under 3! The National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) recently hit a major milestone — they've built 300 kilometers of viaducts along the 508-km route. Most of this viaduct construction (about 257 km) was done using the Full Span Launching Method (FSLM), a fancy engineering technique that lets builders place massive 40-meter-long concrete segments swiftly — up to ten times faster than traditional ways! The rest was built with the Span-by-Span (SBS) method.

In order to make this bullet train a success, NHSRCL is also hard at work calculating how many people will board and setting prices. Japan and India have partnered on this huge project, with financial and technical assistance from the Japanese government. By connecting commercial centres and reducing travel inconveniences, the bullet train is transforming India's travel experience. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo It is not only about speed. The corridor will zip past key spots like Bandra Kurla Complex, Thane, Virar, Surat, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad, and finally Sabarmati. Along the way, stations are being built with stylish themes to offer a modern yet local vibe.

State-of-the-art rolling stock depots are also taking shape to house the sleek bullet trains once they arrive. All things considered, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project is rushing headlong into the future, promising quicker commutes, increased economic growth, and a new era of rail travel in India.

Vaishnaw shares update on bullet train project
New Delhi: Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared an update on the country's ambitious Bullet Train Project on Tuesday, announcing the completion of 300 kilometres of viaduct. Taking to his official handle on X, the minister posted a video along with the caption, '300 km viaduct completed. -- Bullet Train Project.' The project is being implemented by the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL). Approximately 76 per cent of the excavation work has been completed on the Mumbai bullet train station located at Bandra Kurla Complex, which is the only underground station on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor. According to a release, 14.2 lakh cubic metres of the excavation work has been completed. 18.7 lakh cubic metres of earthwork must be excavated from this site. Three batching plants of 120 cum/hr capacity are functional at site. Batching plants are provided with an ice plant and a chiller plant that help control concrete temperature. The site is provided with a modern concrete lab, with facilities like a Water Permeability Test, a Rapid Chloride Penetration Test, etc. All concrete tests are conducted at the site, and samples are intermittently sent to a reputed lab. Base Slab is being cast with M-60 grade of temperature-controlled concrete. Each base slab casting required 3,000 to 4,000 cubic metres of concrete at controlled temperatures, which is being produced by in-situ batching plants and chiller plants. The platform is planned at a depth of about 26 metres below ground level. There will be three floors including platform, concourse and service floor. Excavation for the said work is being done till a depth of 32 metres (approx. 100 ft) from the ground level, which is equivalent to a 10-storey building.
