Ahmedabad – Rajkot Semi High-Speed Rail Project is a 227.60 km proposed semi high-speed rail line connecting Ahmedabad and Rajkot in Gujarat through 6 stations with an estimated cost of Rs. 28,291.44 crore.
Trains on the line will operate with a top speed of 160 kmph and cover the distance between Ahmedabad and Rajkot in two hours, reducing travel times from the 4.5 hours it takes via National Highway NH-47.
