Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Railway Corridor (MAHSR) is planned as India’s first bullet train route, connecting Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Maharashtra to Sabarmati in Ahmedabad with 10 stations. The corridor includes a 21-km-long tunnel, featuring India’s first 7-km undersea rail tunnel beneath Thane Creek. India entered the high-speed rail era in 2017 with the bullet train project, developed through collaboration with Japan using Japanese Shinkansen technology. The Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated the official launch date as 15 August 2027, coinciding with India’s 80th Independence Day. On launch day, services will run from Surat to Vapi over a 100-km stretch, with gradual expansion to the full 508-km route.
