Mumbai–Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor

Maharashtra and Gujarat are one of the most industrialized and affluent States of India with tremendous movement of goods and passengers between them. By 2050, it is predicted that the travel demand between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will reach 58.2 billion Passenger Kilometer (pkm) – an increase of four and half times from 2010 levels. The existing modes of transport are unable to meet such surging demand or to reduce the travel time resulting in economic loss, loss of productivity and greenhouse emissions. The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) will be assisting the Indian government in identifying potential areas for ‘Make in India’ localization.
