Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that India will develop seven high-speed rail corridors linking major cities, while presenting the Union Budget 2026-27 in Parliament. She said these corridors will act as “growth connectors,” promoting fast, efficient, and environmentally sustainable passenger transport across regions.

Currently, work is underway on the 508-km Mumbai–Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor, India’s first bullet train project, designed for speeds up to 320 kmph and a travel time of just over two hours. Sitharaman also announced a new east–west dedicated freight corridor connecting Dankuni and Surat to strengthen logistics and economic connectivity.
