NHSRCL has chosen the alignment (along the rail line and highway) to ensure that land acquisition is minimal. In such a mega project, maximum time gets spent in acquiring privately owned land. The private landowners in Gurgaon and Rewari agreed to let their land be acquired for the construction of the Bullet train, probably sensing the benefits this project would offer once it is ready. At present, it takes about 14 hours by train from Delhi to Ahmedabad but once the Bullet train project is commissioned, it is expected to be less than four hours with 15 stations at Dwarka (Delhi), IMT Manesar (Gurgaon), Rewari, Behror, Shahpura, Jaipur, Ajmer, Vijaynagar, Bhilwara, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Dungarpur (all Rajasthan) and Himmatnagar, Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad (Gujarat).
