Union Railways and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw mentioned that significant work has been made in building several stations for India's first bullet train and that we are prepared to operate the first train in one part in 2026. During an interview, the Union Minister stated that the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project is moving along rather nicely.
"More than 290 kms of work has already been done. Bridges have been built over eight rivers. Work is going on at 12 stations. The stations have also come at the same level so that the work is nearing completion," Ashwini Vaishnaw informed. "The work is going on at two depots. The work is going on at a very fast pace with the complete target of opening its first section in 2026," the Union Minister said.
The Bullet Train is a very complex project. The work on it started in 2017 and it took almost two-and-a-half years to complete the design. "Its design is very complex because the vibrations are very strong at the speed at which the train has to run," informed the Union Minister. "In Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray's government had refused to give permission which delayed the project. But the work is progressing very well now," the Union Minister noted.
The bullet train corridor has a 21-km-long tunnel, including a 7-km undersea stretch. The deepest point of the tunnel is 56 metres. Inside the tunnel, the bullet trains will run at the speed of 300-320 kmph. The objective is to develop a high-frequency mass transportation system by constructing the High-Speed Rail between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, using Japan's Shinkansen technology (also known as the bullet train).
