In a significant announcement, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw confirmed that the entire high-speed rail corridor from Maharashtra to Sabarmati (Gujarat) is expected to be fully completed by December 2029.
This corridor is part of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) project, the flagship initiative under India’s modernization of transport infrastructure.
🚄 Key Highlights:
- Route: Maharashtra to Sabarmati, Gujarat
- Length: Approximately 508 km

Why It Matters:
The bullet train promises to cut travel time drastically, enhance regional connectivity, reduce road and air congestion, and serve as a symbol of India’s technological progress in public transport.
The project also marks significant Indo-Japanese collaboration, with both funding and technology support playing a crucial role in the corridor’s development.
What’s Next:
With work progressing steadily — including bridges, stations, and tunneling — the bullet train is no longer a distant dream. The 2029 deadline offers a clear timeline for what could become India’s most iconic transport upgrade of the decade.
