India's 'Bharat' Goes Solo: Made-in-India Bullet Train to Roll Out, Won't Wait for Japan's...?

India's first bullet train service is set to begin operations with a Made-in-India high-speed train, rather than Japan's Shinkansen. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor is expected to launch in 2027 using the indigenously developed B28 'Bharat' train, built by BEML. Designed to reach speeds of up to 280 kmph, the train will operate on Shinkansen-grade signalling and high-speed rail infrastructure. The 508-km corridor is expected to reduce travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to just over two hours, marking a major milestone in India's high-speed rail ambitions. Japan's next-generation E10 Shinkansen, currently under development, is expected to enter service in the early 2030s.
