Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project Advances with Tunnel Completion

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor is set to revolutionise travel between the two cities, reducing the journey time to just 2.5 hours while fostering economic integration and urban development along the route. 

A significant milestone in the project was achieved with the completion of the 394-meter-long ADIT tunnel, which will facilitate construction access and serve as an emergency evacuation route. The tunnel reflects the project's strong focus on safety and operational efficiency. 

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted the project's steady progress, noting the ongoing construction of bridges across rivers along the corridor. "The works of the bullet train project between Mumbai and Ahmedabad are progressing at a high pace," he stated. 

Vaishnaw emphasised the transformative impact of the high-speed corridor, describing it as a driver of economic growth and urban development. "The bullet train project is rapidly integrating the economy of cities along the corridor, enhancing connectivity and reducing travel time to just 2.5 hours," he remarked. 

The minister added, "This project will accelerate urban development in areas adjoining the corridor, setting a new pace for regional growth." 

As a pioneering infrastructure initiative, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project represents a major leap forward for India's transportation landscape, showcasing the country's technological and economic aspirations.
