India is developing for sure and we can see it's sign clearly in this new bullet train that is going to travel underwater tunnel. Yes, you read it right. We're going to get our very own underwater bullet train getting launched at Mumbai.

The first route will be from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. There will also be an underwater rail corridor of 21 Km through which it will pass, providing the extra thrill of riding underwater.

The project is going to be built with the joint efforts of the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) and Japan. The cost is estimated to be Rs 97,636 crore. 81% of this will be from a loan funding from Japan. It is a soft loan for 50 years at 0.1 per cent annual interest with 15 years' moratorium.

The official said the loan agreement with Japan is slated to be signed by the end of the year and construction work is likely to begin by the end of 2018. It's a first-of-its-kind project.

The bullet train is expected to cover 508 km between Mumbai and Ahmedabad in about two hours, running at a maximum speed of 350 kmph and operating speed of 320 kmph.
