Railways is preparing to acquire 25 high-speed E5 series trains from Japan at an estimated cost of about Rs 5,000 for the Modi government's first high-speed train project.

Most of the Mumbia-Ahmedabad corridor will be elevated, with the exception of a 21-km underground tunnel between Thane and Virar, of which 7 km will be under the sea.

The underwater tunnel was chosen to avoid damaging the thick vegetation present in the area, said the official.

The corridor will begin at the subway station of Bandra-Kurla Complex in Mumbai, then cross 21 km underground before emerging in Thane.

The ball train is aerodynamically designed with a long nose. When a high-speed train comes out of a tunnel, a firing noise is generated because of the pressure microwaves. To reduce this micro pressure, the front car is designed with a nasal section, the official said.

The coach body is pressurized to avoid any inconvenience to pbadengers due to the pressure drop inside the pbadenger cabin tunnel.

The high-speed train will take about 2 hours and 7 minutes to cover the distance of 508 km between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

JICA agreed to fund 81% of the total project cost through a 50-year loan at a 0.1% interest rate and a moratorium on repayments going up to 15 years.

Indian Railways will invest 9,800 rupees in the high-speed rail project and the remaining cost will be borne by the governments of Maharashtra and Gujarat.
