Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train to Feature Earthquake Detection and Safety System
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor, spanning 508 km, is under construction with a targeted launch of its first operational section between Surat and Vapi by August 15, 2027. To enhance passenger safety, 28 seismometers will be installed along the route and in nearby earthquake-prone areas in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Based on Japanese Shinkansen technology, this system will detect seismic activity, automatically cut power, and trigger emergency brakes to halt trains in affected sections promptly.
