Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi has put his hopes on the fast track vis-à-vis a bullet train hurtling between Ahmedabad and Mumbai. He was speaking at the launch of the first metro train manufactured by Bombardier at Savli, Vadodara.

Modi is expecting Mamata Banerjee, the union railways minister, to announce the bullet train project in the railway budget which will be proposed in the first week of July.
“We need a fast and eco-friendly mass transportation facility between Ahmedabad and Mumbai, which will help in the faster growth of Gujarat and western India’s economy,” said Modi.
