Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Adopts Movable Crossings; India Plans Faster Indigenous Trains
India's Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail project is introducing advanced track-switching technology called movable or swing-nose crossings to enable safe, smooth train operations at speeds up to 320 kmph. This system reduces vibration, noise, and wear compared to conventional fixed crossings. Additionally, India plans to develop indigenous bullet trains, including the B28 model with trials expected in 2027 and the B35 targeting speeds of 350 kmph by 2030, aiming to enhance domestic high-speed rail capabilities.
