Rajasthan to Host High-Speed Rail Line with 9 Stops
Imagine a super-fast train, like a bullet, that will zip between Delhi and Ahmedabad, with a big chunk of the track going through Rajasthan!
This train is designed to go really, really fast, up to 350 km/h, so you can get to places quicker.
It'll have stops in many cities of Rajasthan, like Jaipur and Udaipur.
The project involves building the track through seven districts and setting up nine stations in the state.
However, the city of Jodhpur will not be included in this project.
This whole project aims to boost travel and development in the area.
Rajasthan to be part of the Delhi-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor.
The bullet train project will cover 878 kilometers, with 657 kilometers in Rajasthan.
The project will include 9 stations in Rajasthan across seven districts.
