New Delhi: Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit Gujarat on 15th November and will visit the under-construction Bullet Train Station in Surat to review the progress of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR), considered an important infrastructure project to facilitate high-speed connectivity.

The MAHSR covers approximately 508 kilometers, including 352 km in Gujarat and Dadra & Nagar Haveli and 156 km in Maharashtra. The corridor will connect major cities including Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, Anand, Vadodara, Bharuch, Surat, Bilimora, Vapi, Boisar, Virar, Thane, and Mumbai, which will make a transformative step towards India’s transportation infrastructure.

The project is built with advanced engineering techniques matching international standards and features 465 km (about 85% of the route) on viaducts, ensuring minimal land disturbance and enhanced safety.

Right now, 326 km of viaduct work has been completed, and 17 out of 25 river bridges have already been constructed. Upon completion, the Bullet Train will reduce travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to nearly two hours, revolutionizing intercity travel by making it faster, easier, and more comfortable. The project is expected to boost business, tourism, and economic activity along the entire corridor, catalyzing regional development.

The Surat–Bilimora section, which covers around 47 km, is in an advanced stage of completion, with civil works and track-bed laying fully completed. The station has been designed with a strong focus on passenger comfort, featuring spacious waiting lounges, restrooms, and retail outlets. It will also offer seamless multi-modal connectivity with the Surat Metro, city buses, and the Indian Railways network.
