Mumbai–Nagpur HSR

Mumbai–Nagpur HSR is a proposed 741 km bullet train corridor planned by NHSRCL to connect Mumbai and Nagpur across 12 stations. Its route map, stations and latest updates are below.

The Mumbai-Nagpur High-Speed Rail corridor is a 741 km bullet train line planned by the National High Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) to connect Maharashtra’s capital with its second city, running via Nashik, Shirdi and Aurangabad. Designed for 350 km/h across 12 stations, it broadly parallels the Samruddhi Mahamarg expressway and would knit together the state’s western and eastern hubs.

The corridor is in DPR/planning, with alignment survey work advanced.

Why it matters

Mumbai-Nagpur is an intra-state HSR corridor, a test of whether high-speed rail makes economic sense within a single large state rather than only between metros. Its pairing with the Samruddhi expressway also raises the question of how India balances parallel high-speed road and rail investment along the same corridor.
