The bullet train using ‘new Shinkansen Technology by the Japanese,’ is expected to run at a stunning speed of 350kmph.
A portion of the train will also travel underground under the Thane Creek, the government said. This would be the ‘longest tunnel 21 KM switch 7 KMs undersea.’
The government said there will be 12 stations between Mumbai to Ahmedabad: Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad, Sabarmati.
“Underground station Mumbai, all others elevated,” the government said adding that the corridor has been elevated for safety and land economy.
The total cost of the project has been estimated to be at Rs 1.08 lakh crore. “81% of the project cost by Japanese soft loan at 0.1%per annum with repayment period 50 years–including grace period of 15 years.”
