Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit Gujarat on 15th November. At around 10 AM, Prime
Minister will visit the under-construction Bullet Train Station in Surat to review the progress of the
Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR) — one of India’s most ambitious
infrastructure projects symbolizing the nation’s leap into the era of high-speed connectivity.
The MAHSR spans approximately 508 kilometres, covering 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,
marking a transformative step in India’s transportation infrastructure.
Built with advanced engineering techniques on par with international standards, the project features
465 km (about 85% of the route) on viaducts, ensuring minimal land disturbance and enhanced safety.
So far, 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 inter-city 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, covering around 47 km, is in an advanced stage of completion, with civil
works and track-bed laying fully completed. The design of the Surat station draws inspiration from
the city’s world-renowned diamond industry, reflecting both elegance and functionality. 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.***
