Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project stuck, no consensus yet on land for station.

For years, residents of Mumbai have been hoping for high-speed bullet trains to cities such as Ahmedabad and Pune. Then as the reigns at the Centre changed and the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) came to power, the proposal for a Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train, backed by the prime minister himself, gained momentum.

The new government in its very first railway budget in July this year under former railway minister DV Sadananda Gowda announced a Rs. 60,000-crore Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed corridor to connect the two financial hubs, separated by about 500 km. However, within months of the announcement, the project is facing uncertainty over a basic detail - it's starting point.
