Mr Vaisnaw had previously announced that the first bullet train section in India, which is a 50km stretch between Bilimora and Surat in Gujarat, will be completed in August 2026. He had also said a significant step - completion of 100 km of viaducts and 230 km of pier work - had been taken for the larger Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor, of which the Bilimora-Surat section is a part.
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor has been making steady progress since work began in November 2021. The foundation for the bullet train project was laid in Ahmedabad in September 2017.
The projected cost for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor is an estimated Rs 1.08 lakh crore, of which the centre is committed to providing Rs 10,000 crore, while Gujarat and Maharashtra will contribute Rs 5,000 crore each. The remaining funding will be secured through a loan from Japan - at a minimal 0.1 per cent interest rate.
