India is speeding up bullet train rollout, building 15 km of high-speed track every month, Ashwini Vaishnaw said. The first project is set to open in August next year, while future lines will rely on standardized components to scale local manufacturing. Seven new high-speed corridors are also planned across nearly 4,000 km, drawing major investment.
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has laid out a 7 to 8 year timeline to connect Hyderabad and Amaravati by bullet train in about 70 minutes. Plans also include Amaravati to Chennai in roughly 112 minutes, with the South Coast Railway Zone scheduled for official notification on June 1. Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh railway allocations are rising as stations are modernized to support the corridor.
