Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has set a deadline of 2023-24 to complete the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project.

The Bullet Train Project has been sanctioned with a target to be completed by 2023, Railway Minister told the Rajya Sabha in June. "This project is being executed by a special purpose vehicle namely National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), with the financial and technical assistance from the Government of Japan. The total estimated cost of the project is Rs 1,08,000 crore," the Minister said.
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project has encountered many problems on its path. Recently, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray ordered a review of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, after it faced opposition from tribals and farmers who claimed that their lands were being snatched away from them.
