The Mumbai–Nagpur High Speed Rail Corridor is a planned high-speed rail line connecting Maharashtra's two major cities, Mumbai and Nagpur. It will be the second line which links Mumbai.[4]

The route is set to be approximately 766 kilometres (476 mi) in length, running entirely within the state of Maharashtra. The cost of the project is yet to be finalised.[1]

Project status

2021

  • March: Aerial LiDar survey begins. [5]

  • February: DPR Submitted to Railway Board. [6]

Route Description

The proposed Mumbai-Nagpur High Speed Rail Corridor is planned to run along Samruddhi Mahamarg Expressway, 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.

Fares

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.
