India’s first high-speed train trials on the Mumbai–Ahmedabad corridor will begin by late 2026. BEML will start prototype production in September 2025, using locally sourced components to boost self-reliance. Trains will reach speeds up to 280 km/h under a $101M deal with ICF. This project aims to modernize infrastructure, reduce travel time, and position India as a global player in high-speed rail innovation.
