Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Stations Progress as August 2027 Launch Nears
Construction on India's first Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor is advancing steadily, targeting an August 2027 launch. The Surat station, inspired by the city's diamond industry, has completed structural and roofing work and is now undergoing interior finishing. Meanwhile, Mumbai's underground Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) station is nearing completion of excavation and foundation work. The 508-km high-speed rail corridor will connect major cities and industrial hubs across Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Dadra Nagar Haveli, with trains operating up to 320 kmph.
