India will speed up a project to build its first bulletin train from its financial capital Mumbai to Ahmedabad, Gujarat, in its railway budget to be presented Tuesday, said local daily The Times of India.
A high-speed train will run at a maximum speed of 320 km per hour and cover 534 km between the two cities in two hours, according to the plan.
The report quoted railway officials in Mumbai as saying a lot of brainstorming has gone into taking the Mumbai-Ahmedabad train project forward as it involves Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat.
Japan International Consortium is expected to complete the project feasibility report by 2015, according to the report.
