Imagine traveling from Delhi to the Taj Mahal in under an hour. India has approved a northern bullet train corridor that will dramatically slash intercity travel times across the country.

India's railway system, which carries over 7 billion passengers yearly, is getting its first bullet train in 2027. Japanese engineers are helping build the 164 mph high-speed rail connecting Mumbai to Ahmedabad, cutting travel time by more than four hours.

In a small Adivasi village 118 km from Mumbai, massive machines work around the clock building India's first bullet train corridor. The 508-km Mumbai-Ahmedabad project is 92% complete in Gujarat, with workers launching girders seven times faster than the Japanese predicted.

India just allocated a record-breaking $2 billion to transform Gujarat's railway network, a stunning 30-fold increase from a decade ago. The investment will modernize 87 stations and bring the country's first bullet train closer to reality.
