Mumbai: Travel time between Mumbai-Ahmedabad-Delhi is all set to reduce as semi-high-speed trains will run at 160 kmph by March 2024. Two major works are underway to this effect—doubling the capacity of overhead power lines between Virar to Ahmedabad and laying of cattle safety walls.
This will ensure the current travel time via Rajdhani and Shatabdi express will be cut by two hours.
The Western Railway (WR) has started work on augmenting the power systems that will fuel these semi-high-speed trains as part of Mission Raftaar.
