In a significant development for the bullet train project under the strategic partnership between India and Japan, the Japanese government has agreed to introduce next-generation E10 Shinkansen trains for the high-speed train corridor between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. The Indian Railways confirmed that the 508-km-long corridor is being built using Japanese Shinkansen technology. The E10 trains, set to replace the current E5 model, will be launched simultaneously in both countries.
