Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train to be fully operational by 2029: Ashwini Vaishnaw
The 50-km stretch of India’s first high-speed rail corridor between Surat and Bilimora in Gujarat is expected to open by 2027, and the entire Mumbai-Ahmedabad section will be operational by 2029, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Saturday.
After commissioning, the bullet train is expected to cover the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route in about two hours and seven minutes. Vaishnaw inspected the under-construction Surat station, including track installation and the first turnout.
