RAILWAY Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Saturday said India is moving ahead with its indigenous bullet train programme, with the “Atmanirbhar version B-28” now being designed and manufactured domestically, as he inaugurated a high-speed train manufacturing facility in Bengaluru.

Speaking on the development, Vaishnaw said, “The bullet train’s Atmanirbhar version B-28 is being designed jointly by ICF and BEML. Manufacturing will take place at BEML’s specially designed facility, Aditya Plant, equipped with advanced, high-precision machines, including robotic laser welding systems.”

India’s “swadeshi” bullet train push is moving towards speed, scale and self-reliance. The train is on track for April 2027 debut. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor will be the first to run it.
