The Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR), also known as Mumbai–Ahmedabad HSR, is a high-speed rail line that is currently under construction. To give a little background, this ambitious project aims to establish a swift connection between Mumbai, the economic and financial hub of India, and Ahmedabad, the largest city in the state of Gujarat. Once completed, MAHSR will stand as India’s inaugural high-speed rail line.
The project’s anticipated completion date was set for December 2023. However, due to challenges in acquiring land in Maharashtra, the timeline for the entire corridor’s completion has become uncertain.
How many stations are being built in which states?
The rapid rail line is intended to integrate a sum of 12 stations. Proposed stations remember those for Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand/Nadiad, Ahmedabad, and Sabarmati. To work with consistent exchanges with the Indian Rail lines organization, the high-velocity rail stations will be decisively developed either above or contiguous existing rail line stations
