India does not have high speed rail lines, or lines operating at over 200 km/h (120 mph) under UIC definition.[1] However, a high speed rail line is under construction, and a large network is planned. As of 2021, the fastest train operating in the country is the Gatimaan Express, with an operating speed of up to 160 km/h (99 mph).
INDIA UPCOMING BULLET TRAIN 🚄
A new 508 km high speed railway is currently under construction between Indian economic center of Mumbai and the western city of Ahmedabad at a top speed of 320 km/h (200 mph) along western coast. ... It will be built in standard gauge using Shinkansen technology.
India will have two types of gauges for high speed rail. The new high-speed rail lines with Japanese technology will be in standard gauge, whereas older tracks upgraded to high-speed rail standard will be in 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge. For this reason, there will be no interchangeability between newly laid tracks and the older-upgraded tracks for passenger and cargo traffic.
