That historic day is not far when the bullet train will run at a speed of 320 km per hour for the first time on Indian soil. The distance from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, which is still covered in 6 to 7 hours, will soon be covered in just 2 hours. Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav on Saturday has given a clear indication of turning this dream into reality.
While virtually flagging off several trains from Bhavnagar, the Railway Minister said that India’s first bullet train will start very soon. He informed that the work on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project is going on at a fast pace and the start of its operation is not far away.
What will be special in the bullet train?
The country’s first bullet train will cover a distance of 508 km, starting from Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and connecting Gujarat’s Valsad, Surat, Vadodara, Anand and Ahmedabad. The maximum speed of this train will be 320 km per hour. The journey from Mumbai to Ahmedabad will be completed in just 2 hours and 7 minutes, which is three times faster than today’s train journey. Let us tell you that this bullet train is being built in collaboration between India and Japan and Japanese technology “Shinkansen” is being used in it.
Why is this project special?
This is not just a rail project, but a symbol of revolutionary change in India’s transport infrastructure. This train will not only save time, but will also open new opportunities for business, tourism and investment. This will increase employment opportunities and promote regional development.
What did the Railway Minister say?
Along with the announcement of the bullet train, the Railway Minister also gave information about other rail projects being done in Gujarat and across the country. He said that a new train will be started between Porbandar-Rajkot in Gujarat. Coach maintenance facility will be built in Porbandar at a cost of ₹ 135 crore. He said that a new container terminal and two Gati Shakti cargo terminals are also being built in Bhavnagar.
