Surat to become first station in India for MAHSR

Surat is set to become the first station of the country’s first bullet train project—the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project.

The Minister of State for Railways, Darshana Jardosh, told the media that the city of Surat in Gujarat, as it has always done, will break new ground and take the nation's progress to newer levels.The approaching station in Surat will become the first station to be made between Ahmedabad-Mumbai Bullet Train route for India’s first futuristic High-Speed Rail (HSR) project.

The Mumbai–Ahmedabad high speed rail (MAHSR) corridor will include 12 stations - Surat, Anand, Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Bilimora, Sabarmati, Bharuch, Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi stations.

Once the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project is ready, the journey time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will be 2.07 hours (limited stops), 2.58 hours (stopping at stations) vis a vis present train journey duration of seven-eight hours. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train will operate on Japanese Shinkansen Technology, which is known for its safety as well as reliability and has been proven for over 50 years. The maximum design speed of the train would be 350 km per hour, and the maximum operating speed would be 320 km per hour.

The MAHSR is an innovative project of the Indian Government that will herald a new era of speed, safety and service for the public and assist the Indian Railways network to become a global leader in speed, scale and skill.

For the high-speed train project, the state of Gujarat procured nearly 100% of the private land required. However, in Maharashtra, 24% of the land is yet to be procured for the MAHSR project.
