According to the proposal, the train will be going through 10 districts and will reduce travel time between the two cities as currently, it takes about 12 hours by road. The bullet train is expected to reduce it to four hours. The NHSRCL is also executing the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet train project which would be the first in the country. The Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited, a joint venture of the Indian Railways and the Maharashtra government, is also planning a semi high-speed rail corridor between Mumbai and Pune and the feasibility study for this project is currently underway.
