India's Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train to Begin Trials in 2027 with Earthquake Safety System
India's Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project is progressing with plans to inaugurate the first trainset by August 15, 2027. The 508-km corridor will reduce travel time from six hours to approximately 1.5 hours, operating at speeds up to 320 kmph. Safety features include 28 seismometers installed along the route to detect earthquakes and trigger emergency braking, drawing on Japanese Shinkansen technology. Trial runs are expected to begin in mid-2027, with phased operational readiness anticipated.
