Again, as per the railway minister, the first bullet train in India would operate between Bilimora and Surat in the year 2026 covering a distance of 50 km.

Mumbai Ahmedabad Bullet Train Architecture and Culture:

Talking about the design of the stations, the local culture and architecture of the city would be considered. The new design of the station or station façade would consider the different functional requirements of every station in terms of massing, size, material, and volume.

The new design of the stations would facilitate plenty of natural light allowing the passenger areas with amazing sky views. For instance, the importance of speed would be revealed at the Vapi station. The Bharuch station would be designed with cotton weaving designs, in the honor of 150-year-old art and artists. Talking about Vadodara city, the city is named after the Vad or Banyan tree. Hence the station would be designed with foliage and a profile of the Banyan tree. Similarly, the design of the Ahmedabad station would be enthused by Syed Siddique Jali. The Sabarmati station would be designed by the Charkha of Mahatma Gandhi inspired by the Sabarmati Ashram. Surat is also popular for the diamond industry there. And hence, the theme of the Surat station would be inspired by Diamonds. Bilimora is popular for the mango orchards and hence, the station would be designed with the history of mangoes.
