Bengaluru-Hyderabad Bullet Train Project

planned

The Bengaluru-Hyderabad bullet train project is a high-speed rail corridor aiming to reduce travel time between Bengaluru and Hyderabad to approximately two hours. The corridor will span around 626 km across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana, with about 101 km in Karnataka. It will have around 12 stations, including three in Karnataka at Alipura, Devanahalli, and Kodihalli. The train is planned for a design speed of 350 kmph and an operational speed of around 320 kmph, mostly running on elevated tracks along a new alignment separate from existing railway lines. Detailed Project Reports are being prepared following surveys by RITES, with land acquisition and route alignment as key focus areas. The project has received in-principle approval from the Karnataka Cabinet and is moving towards execution with discussions on land acquisition and route alignment ongoing.
