India’s first bullet train, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) project, is advancing through extensive use of digital technologies and modern engineering. Spanning 508 km, the line will reduce travel time between the two cities from eight to three hours.
Japan has provided technical expertise and will deliver test trains in 2026, while India plans to manufacture future trainsets locally. Key contractor Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is deploying AI, ML, LiDAR, robotics, drones, AR, and VR to improve construction accuracy and worker safety.
Technologies like LiDAR surveys and robotic rebar manufacturing have accelerated progress, while VR modules train staff in safety-critical tasks. The project’s first operational segment in Gujarat is expected by 2027, with full service to Mumbai projected by 2030. The initiative supports India’s broader ambition to develop a high-speed rail network, with several other corridors currently in planning stages.
