The Chennai-Mysore High-Speed Rail corridor is a 463 km bullet train line planned by the National High Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) to connect Chennai with Mysuru via Bengaluru, spanning Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Designed for 350 km/h across 11 stations, it would link South India’s two largest economic centres and their satellite tech clusters on a single high-speed axis.
The corridor is in DPR/planning, with alignment and station locations under study.
Why it matters
Chennai-Mysore is the flagship of high-speed rail’s move into South India, connecting the Chennai and Bengaluru tech economies that currently rely on congested road and conventional rail. Its multiple Bengaluru-area stops (Whitefield, Byappanahalli, Electronics City) also test how an inter-city HSR line integrates with a metro network inside a major city.
