This new Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor will be India's first bullet train route, covering 508 km and using Japan's advanced Shinkansen technology.
The bullet train will connect several cities in Gujarat, including Vapi, Surat, Anand, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad. It is expected to run at a speed of 320 km per hour.
