high speed corridors

India’s first bullet train is currently being manufactured by Bengaluru-based BEML and is likely to be ready by 2027.

India's ambitious bullet train project connecting Mumbai and Ahmedabad is advancing rapidly. Significant progress has been made on the 508-km corridor, including viaduct construction and land acquisition. The nation eagerly awaits the launch of its first high-speed rail service, promising significantly reduced travel times between the two major cities.

Uttar Pradesh is gearing up for the Shamli-Gorakhpur high-speed corridor, a 742 km greenfield project costing approximately Rs 40,000 crore. This crucial west-to-east link aims to significantly reduce travel time across northern and northeastern India. Land acquisition is underway in 17 districts, with the expressway expected to be operational by 2030.

A new 63-km expressway connecting Lucknow and Kanpur is poised to invigorate real estate, particularly in peri-urban areas, by boosting connectivity and industrial movement. This strategically vital corridor, linking to the Ganga Expressway, is expected to spur demand for plotted developments and logistics parks. The project promises enhanced regional integration and economic growth.

Kerala's ambitious SilverLine rail project has been officially cancelled, marking a significant political shift. The government has halted land acquisition and withdrawn cases against protesters. This decision follows overwhelming evidence of the project's financial, environmental, and technical non-viability, despite initial government assurances. Experts and citizens had repeatedly raised concerns about its feasibility and impact.

The proposed rail line is expected to improve connectivity between Ahmedabad, Dholera Special Investment Region, the upcoming Dholera International Airport and the Lothal National Maritime Heritage Complex.
