Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor will cover 12 stations along the route
The country s first high-speed rail project, spearheaded by the Railway Ministry s special purpose vehicle - National High-Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) will contribute in reducing India s dependence on imports for crude oil, besides boosting infrastructure development. The high-speed rail will be powered by indigenous electric power, unlike diesel, petrol, or aviation fuel. It is a proven environment-friendly transport option, according to the NHSRCL, responsible for developing and implementing the bullet train project. (
Data from the National High-Speed Rail Corporation s website shows, the carbon emission for a 600 km trip per passenger by the high-speed rail is 8.1 kg, compared to 67.4 kg for car travel and 93 kg for airplane travel, according to a study by the International Union of Railways. This means that the carbon emission by the high-speed rail is far lesser than a car or an airplane.
