The first bullet train section in India, a 50-kilometre stretch between Bilimora and Surat in Gujarat, will be completed in August 2026, announced Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday.
Vaishnaw also discussed the Kavach system, an indigenously developed warning system to guard against on-track collisions.
He further presented updates on technologies, such as the Gajraj system, to prevent elephant-train collisions, as well as the construction of extra tracks to better connect different parts of the country.
