Mumbai and Ahmedabad will soon get the first bullet train of the country. The 508-km-long Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor will have a 21-km-long tunnel under the sea. While most part of the corridor will be on the elevated track, there will be a stretch after Thane creek towards Virar, which will go under the sea as per the detailed project report by JICA. Estimated to cost about Rs 97,636 crore, 81 per cent of the project will be funded through a loan from Japan.
