Ahmedabad-Rajkot bullet train link on the anvil

Indian Railways has planned to build a new Ahmedabad-Rajkot Railway link allowing a seamless passage for high-speed trains and also connecting the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train corridors as the central government has already approved the project. Unlike the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project, the new railway line will not just be a bullet train but also support a significantly high-speed train in the state and allow passengers from Ahmedabad to reach Rajkot or vice-versa quickly. Once commissioned, rail users will be able to leverage the services and avail the bullet train services from Saurashtra region in Gujarat. With the introduction of the double-track railway lines between Rajkot and Ahmedabad, the new high-speed line will allow a reduction in the travel time between the two cities and those coming from Mumbai via bullet train will also find travelling convenient. Meanwhile, work on the bullet train project has started and the railway lines are expected to be laid in the next three years.
