Indian Railways is set to transform the Indian transportation sector with the launch of the country’s first Shinkansen bullet train. The train will connect Mumbai and Ahmedabad, covering a distance of 508 kilometers. The project aims to match European and Japanese standards, offering high-speed travel like never before in India.
Although the final decision on acquiring the trains using Shinkansen technology from Japan is yet to be made, Indian Railways is exploring the possibility of launching an Indian bullet train. This train could reach speeds of up to 280 km/h along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor, significantly cutting travel time from 6-7 hours to just 2 hours. The project is expected to be completed by 2026, according to reports.
In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Made in India’ initiative, these trains will run on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) corridor. A senior railway official stated that the train will support European, Indian, and Japanese standards.
The cost of each bullet train is estimated at Rs 27.86 crore, with the total contract amounting to Rs 866.87 crore. This includes design costs, development fees, and expenses for testing and infrastructure, which will be used for future high-speed rail projects in India. The first two locally developed bullet trains will undergo testing at speeds of 280 km/h.
The MAHSR corridor is being built with a maximum speed of 320 km/h. The first 50 kilometers of the corridor will be operational by 2026. The new bullet trains will offer passengers air-conditioned chair cars, reclining and swivelling seats, accommodations for passengers with special needs, and onboard entertainment systems.
