The report will be made additionally by the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), which is also operating on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project.

Nitin Gadkari told the media the bullet train would render another good alternative for transportation between the two cities.

From Nagpur to Igatpuri, the land will not have to be procured since the train would work adjacent to Samruddhi Highway. From Igatpuri to Mumbai, the land will have to be procured.

The high-speed rail network is expected to move from Wardha, Jalna, Shirdi, Nashik, Shahapur before reaching Mumbai.
