India To Get Japan’s Latest E10 Bullet Trains

18 Jul 2025 CW Team

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor will now operate Japan’s upcoming E10 Shinkansen trains, scheduled for launch in Japan in 2030. These advanced trains, an upgrade from the initially tested E5 models, promise higher speeds, enhanced comfort, and cutting-edge features.

This 508-km corridor—352 km in Gujarat and 156 km in Maharashtra—is being developed with advanced Japanese Shinkansen technology and is expected to redefine standards in speed, safety, and reliability.

Officials confirmed that the Japanese government will supply the E10 series for the project. This collaboration is seen as a significant milestone in the strategic Japan-India partnership, bringing one of Japan’s most sophisticated rail systems to India.

Construction progress is well underway, with 310 km of elevated viaduct completed. Commercial operations are targeted for 2027, with prototype trains potentially operational by 2026.

While the Japan partnership remains central, Indian Railways is also embracing global innovation. A major signalling and telecom contract has been awarded to European companies working alongside Indian partners. The E5 models continue to be tested in India to support preparation for the E10 introduction.

In parallel, India is pushing for domestic capability. The Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai has been tasked with developing bullet trains capable of reaching speeds of 280 kmph. This initiative, in partnership with defence PSU BEML, is aimed at strengthening India’s local manufacturing in the high-speed rail space.
