The trials of the bullet train will be conducted at a speed of 350 kilometres per hour, comparable to the take-off speed of airplanes, officials said on Wednesday.
The first such trial will be held between Bilimora and Surat in Gujarat in 2026, followed by other sections, they said.
The operational speed of the trains will be 320 kmph.
“It will be a gamechanger for travellers and competition to air travel. The bullet trains will have less check-in time, more leg space and most of all, connectivity, which is denied on-board airplanes.
