rail line, which will be 508 kilometres long. It will serve the main business
and residential centres of Maharashtra and Gujarat.\*

This line will enable trains to connect Mumbai to Ahmedabad at an average speed
of 250km/h and a maximum speed of 320km/h. Journey times will be reduced from 6
hours to 2 hours and 7 minutes, a reduction of almost three times. Our teams
will work closely with the DRA Infracon-Siemens joint venture, which will supply
the line’s system equipment.

## Over 4,000km of future high-speed lines to come

With the Mumbai–Ahmedabad high-speed rail line, the Indian authorities aim to
transform the travel experience between these two major cities. The PMC’s remit
covers both the installation of signalling & telecommunications systems,
real-time ticketing and control equipment (SCADA). These systems are essential
to ensuring the safety and reliability of this high-speed line.

SYSTRA India has been involved in studies for the new-generation ticketing
system for this line since 2024. In total, India is planning to build seven
high-speed corridors, representing more than 4,000km of new lines.
