India鈥檚 vision for faster intercity travel is inching forward with the Mumbai鈥揌yderabad High Speed Rail (MHHSR) corridor taking shape on paper. Spanning 767 km, the proposed bullet train route will connect Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad via 11 planned stations across Maharashtra and Telangana. Initial tendering for the project began in October 2020, as reported by The Metro Rail Guy. Though construction is yet to start, the MHHSR remains a priority as part of six high-speed corridors announced by the Centre in 2019. Top-Notch Specs Once operational, the bullet train is expected to clock speeds up to 350 km/h, with an average operational speed of 320 km/h. Designed with cutting-edge tech and safety features, it will run on standard gauge (1435 mm) tracks, powered by 25 kV AC overhead catenary, and managed through a digital DS-ATC signalling system. Each train will carry around 750 passengers and come equipped with UrEDAS鈥攁 system that automatically applies brakes in the event of seismic activity. Strategic Stations The 11 proposed stations are: Bandra Kurla Complex (Mumbai) Navi Mumbai (near the new international airport) Lonavala Pune Kurkumb/Daund Akluj Pandharpur Solapur Kalaburagi (Gulbarga) Zaheerabad Hyderabad While cost estimates are still under wraps, the project is expected to be a game-changer鈥攄rastically reducing travel time, enhancing connectivity, and catalysing economic growth along the route. With its promise of speed, safety, and regional upliftment, the MHHSR is set to redefine long-distance rail travel in southern and western India.Image Source:mypunepulse
