The proposed HSR line will accelerate travel, encourage business, and link regional centers. Naidu mentioned that the project is perfectly compatible to the growth trajectory of Andhra Pradesh and that the state is back on high investment agenda with pro-industry policies and excellent infrastructure.

Meantime, the Ministry of Railways is promoting such programs throughout the country. Officials also announced that work has been sanctioned for Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor, which they said will revolutionize rail travel in India.

Multiple stations on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route are under works, said Indian Railways. These stations will integrate modern aesthetics, cultural motifs, and environmentally sustainable options to create a better experience for riders.

Officials arrived for a visit to the newly-constructed bridge at Vishwamitri River in Vadodara, Gujarat earlier this month. It is the seventeenth of 21 river bridges scheduled for the corridor, and it represents movement toward completion of the signature project.
