The E10 Shinkansen Japan’s latest high-speed bullet train will change rail travel in India. Ordered by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) for use on the Tohoku Shinkansen line the E10 is an advanced version of Japan’s existing bullet trains and is likely to make its debut in India by 2030. India’s Expanding Rail Network India has one of the world’s largest railway networks is rapidly modernising with the introduction of high-speed trains powered by new technology. According to recent reports the Mumbai–Ahmedabad bullet train corridor will initially use Japan’s E5 model Shinkansen trains for trial runs. The E10 Shinkansen is expected to be even more advanced than the E5. It is known as Alpha-X the E10 is designed to cross speeds of up to 400 km/h so it can cover 1000 km in just 2.5 hours. Delhi To Patna In 2.5 Hours For example a trip from Delhi to Patna of a distance of around 1000 km can be covered in just 2.5 hours with the E10 Shinkansen. Similarly the 508 km Mumbai–Ahmedabad route would take just over an hour. According to media reports officials from the Indian Railways have confirmed that Shinkansen trains will be used in trial runs for India’s first bullet train project. As part of the strategic partnership between India and Japan the Japanese government has approved the introduction of E10 Shinkansen trains on the Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor. The rollout of these ultra-modern trains marks a major leap forward for India’s transport infrastructure promising faster travel times greater efficiency and a world-class passenger experience.
