Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced on Sunday that India’s first bullet train service between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will commence very soon, with the journey expected to take just two hours and seven minutes, reported the PTI.

Speaking at an event at Bhavnagar Terminus in Gujarat, where he virtually flagged off the Ayodhya Express, Rewa-Pune Express, and Jabalpur-Raipur Express, Vaishnaw said that the high-speed rail project is progressing rapidly.

The India's first bullet train project, Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor, which spans 508 kilometres, will operate at a top speed of 320 km/h, connecting Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) to major cities in Gujarat including Vapi, Surat, Anand, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad.
