In a move that could boost regional connectivity, there is buzz that the Mumbai–Ahmedabad High Speed Rail project may get a spur line to the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA). According to highly placed sources, a proposal has reportedly been submitted to the Railway Board for consideration. If approved, the spur would connect the country’s first bullet train corridor with the new international airport, potentially reducing travel time for passengers travelling between Navi Mumbai and Gujarat. Railway officials, however, have not issued any formal confirmation.
