This short clip gives a sneak peek into this architectural marvel. This state-of-the-art modern terminal is designed to provide passengers with a never-before-comfort and travel experience. The Bullet Train project to connect Ahmedabad and Mumbai is being executed with both technical and financial support from the Government of Japan.

Mr Vaisnaw had previously announced that the first bullet train section in India, which is a 50km stretch between Bilimora and Surat in Gujarat, will be completed in August 2026.

The projected cost for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor is an estimated Rs 1.08 lakh crore, of which the centre is committed to providing Rs 10,000 crore, while Gujarat and Maharashtra will contribute Rs 5,000 crore each. The remaining funding will be a loan from Japan, at a minimal 0.1 per cent interest rate.
