Travelling at a speed of 300 km per hour on the Mumbai-Pune-Nagpur route may not be a distant dream for train commuters as a pre-feasibility report submitted to chief minister Ashok Chavan stated that it is a viable proposition. “The report, prepared by a German company, suggests that it is viable to run a high-speed train on the 900-km long route,” a senior official from the planning department. After the train service is launched, commuters will be able to reach Pune from Mumbai in an hour and Nagpur in three hours. Vossing, the company that was working on the report since last year, has submitted it to the chief minister for approval. The report said the short routes earlier proposed for the train, like those linking the proposed greenfield airport near Panvel to Khopoli (30 km), Alibaug (60 km) and Santa Cruz airport (45 km) and also route between Santa Cruz airport to Nariman Point (18 km), Goregaon (15 km) and Kalyan (50 km) were not viable. The distance between these routes is less and it will not be feasible for high-speed trains to stop at such short distances, the report submitted to the CM stated.
