Ahmedabad bullet train station to be developed as a multimodal transport hub with kite-inspired design

On Saturday, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw reviewed the construction of the Ahmedabad bullet train station and noted that the Ahmedabad section involves some of the most complex engineering works along the corridor, including multiple crossings over existing railway lines and flyovers.

“The work on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project is progressing at a rapid pace and approximately 80 per cent of the project work has been completed. In the year 2027, the first phase of the bullet train service will be commenced on the Surat-Bilimora section. Following this, the project will be progressively extended to Vapi–Surat, Ahmedabad, and ultimately up to Mumbai,” the minister said.

The Union Minister also reviewed the progress of the multi-storey station building and its approach infrastructure. He also highlighted that the Ahmedabad bullet train station is being developed as a fully integrated multimodal transport hub.

The Ahmedabad bullet train station will feature a kite-inspired design. “The station’s design is inspired by Ahmedabad’s iconic Patang (kite), blending the city’s cultural identity with world-class infrastructure,” the minister said.

The bullet train station will be equipped with modern passenger amenities like a waiting lounge, nursery, restrooms, retail outlets, etc. To move to different levels smoothly and make it accessible for everyone, multiple lifts and escalators are also being installed.

The station will also have passenger-friendly facilities like clear signage to guide passengers easily across concourse, platform, and exit areas, including information kiosks and public announcement systems.
