The Mumbai–Nagpur High-Speed Rail Corridor is a proposed high-speed rail line connecting Maharashtra's two major cities, Mumbai and Nagpur. It will be the second line which links Mumbai.[5]

The route is set to be 742 km (461 mi) in length, running entirely within the state of Maharashtra. 68% route will run along the Mumbai–Nagpur Expressway. The cost of the project is expected to 1.7 lakh crore (US$20 billion).[2][1]

Route description

[edit]

The proposed Mumbai-Nagpur High-Speed Rail Corridor is planned to run along the Mumbai–Nagpur Expressway (Samruddhi Mahamarg), national highways, greenfield areas, and may pass through arterial roads of the intermediate city road network for high-speed rail connectivity between different cities along the corridor.

The route will have 15 stations: Mumbai BKC, Thane, Shahpur, Ghoti, Nashik, Shirdi, Aurangabad, Jalna, Mehkar, Malegaon Jahangir, Karanja Lad, Pulagon, Wardha, Khapri and Ajni (Nagpur).

Fares

[edit]

The fare structure is yet to be finalized but is expected to be 1.5 times the existing first-class AC fare on the Indian Railways' current service. The line's official fare structure, prices and rules are expected to be finalized closer to the start of commercial operations.
