August 2026 is when Mr. Vaisnaw had previously declared that the 50km bullet train segment between Bilimora and Surat in Gujarat, India, will be finished. Additionally, he had stated that a major step had been done for the bigger Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor, of which the Bilimora-Surat segment is a part, namely the completion of 100 km of viaducts and 230 km of pier work.
Since construction on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor started in November 2021, the project has advanced steadily. In September 2017, the bullet train project’s foundation was laid in Ahmedabad.
