India’s first bullet train will now cover a 100 km distance between Surat and Vapi in Gujarat during its inaugural run in August 2027, reported PTI, quoting Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
Earlier, Vaishnaw had said the inaugural run would be held on a 50 km stretch between Surat and Billimora.
The country’s first 508-km-long high-speed rail corridor is being constructed between Sabarmati (Ahmedabad) and Mumbai to operate bullet trains at 320 kmph, completing the entire distance in 2 hours and 17 minutes.
