New Delhi: Indian Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw recently took to social media to share glimpses of India’s first bullet train station at the Sabarmati Multimodal Transport Hub in Ahmedabad. 

The construction of India’s first state-of-the-art High Speed Rail (HSR) corridor between Mumbai and Ahmedabad is going on in full swing. The ambitious project connects two important financial hubs in West India and spans 508 km, of which 448 km will be elevated, 26 km will run in tunnels, 10 km on bridges, and 7 km on an embankment. 

The bullet train station in Ahmedabad displays a large mural made with stainless steel on the south side which depicts the historic Dandi march or Salt Satyagraha, a non-violent movement by Mahatma Gandhi against the British.

With a total area of about 1,33,000 square metres, the hub building is being constructed as a twin structure with space earmarked for offices, commercial development, and retail outlets for passengers.
