MAHSR: India’s First Bullet Train Station in Surat
The Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor spans approximately 508 km, including:
- 352 km in Gujarat and Dadra and Nagar Haveli
- 156 km in Maharashtra
- The corridor will connect major cities such as Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Bharuch, Surat, Vapi, Boisar, Thane, and Mumbai.
Once completed, the bullet train is expected to cut travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to nearly two hours, giving a major boost to business, tourism, and regional economic growth.
