Gandhinagar: Gujarat government on January 12 signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) worth Rs 77,000 crore with the ministry of railways for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project. The MoU was signed during the ongoing Vibrant Gujarat Summit at Mahatma Mandir here on January 12 in the presence of chief minister Vijay Rupani and deputy chief minister Nitin Patel. Out of the total cost of Rs 1.10 lakh crore for the high-speed bullet train project, Gujarat government would get 70 per cent share, the state government said in a release. The agreement was signed between Gujarat government and the High Speed Rail Corporation (HSRC), which falls under the railway ministry. The high speed bullet train is expected to cover 508km between Mumbai and Ahmedabad in about two hours, running at a maximum speed of 350 kmph and operating speed of 320kmph. The project is expected to complete by the 2023. Passengers will get the thrill of riding under the sea as this first bullet train of the country will have a 21km tunnel under the sea. According to the detailed project report proposed by Japanese International Corporation Agency (JICA), while most part of the corridor is proposed to be on the elevated track, there will be a stretch after Thane creek towards Virar, which will run under the sea. "Another MoU was signed to set up a training centre at Gandhinagar to impart training to engineers and employees associated with the bullet train project," the release said.
