On June 1, 2025, TV9 Gujarati reported that India’s first bullet train, set to operate on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) corridor, has started its trial runs in Japan. The train, based on Japan’s Shinkansen technology, is designed to reach speeds of up to 320 km/h and will cover the 508-kilometer distance between Mumbai and Ahmedabad in under three hours, stopping at 12 stations along the route. This marks a significant milestone for India’s high-speed rail ambitions, with the project slated for a 2026 launch. The trials in Japan are focused on ensuring the train’s safety and performance before it is deployed in India. Posts on X from users like @ellems00 and @theindiainfocom reflect excitement about the project, noting its potential to modernize India’s railway system and transform travel in the region.
