The Ministry of Railways has announced that construction work on the bullet train stations along the Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) corridor is nearing completion. The modern, eco-friendly stations are being designed with a blend of cutting-edge technology and local cultural identity to offer passengers seamless connectivity and elevated comfort.
In a recent post on social media platform X, the Ministry stated: “The #BulletTrain stations on the Mumbai–Ahmedabad corridor in Gujarat are nearing completion. With modern design, cultural identity, seamless connectivity and eco-friendly features, the stations will redefine passenger comfort and set new benchmarks in travel.”
Number of Stations and Route
The corridor comprises 12 high-speed rail stations:
- In Maharashtra (4 stations): Mumbai (Bandra-Kurla Complex), Thane, Virar, Boisar
- In Gujarat (8 stations): Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad, and Sabarmati
Trains will operate with two travel patterns:
- Limited-stop service: Mumbai to Ahmedabad in approximately 2 hours and 7 minutes, halting only at Surat, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad
- All-stops service: The full journey with all 12 stops will take about 2 hours and 58 minutes
Corridor Length and Geography
The bullet train route spans 508 kilometres, passing through:
- 348 km in Gujarat
- 156 km in Maharashtra
- 4 km through Dadra & Nagar Haveli Union Territory
While the official inauguration date is yet to be announced, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw recently confirmed that operations will commence “very soon.” The bullet train will dramatically reduce the travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
