India will roll out its first bullet train on August 15, 2027, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has announced.
The high-speed service will operate on the 508-km Mumbai–Ahmedabad corridor, connecting key cities such as Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Vapi, Thane and Mumbai.
Designed to run at speeds of up to 320 kmph, the bullet train will reduce travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to less than three hours.
The project will be launched in phases, with select stretches opening first before full operations begin.
