High-Speed Rail Project: The Centre¡¯s new high-speed rail project will connect Hyderabad to Bengaluru in just 2 hours and to Chennai in 2 hours 20 minutes. This will cut travel time by nearly 10 hours compared to current train journeys. The trains will travel at speeds of 320 km/h on elevated tracks, following the design of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train. The Hyderabad-Chennai route will be 705 km long, and the Hyderabad-Bengaluru route will span 626 km. Currently, the project is in the survey phase, and it is expected to be completed in about 15 years.
This high-speed train is expected to run at speeds of 320 km/h. These trains will use dedicated tracks that will only serve high-speed trains. The Hyderabad to Bengaluru route will cover 626 km. The Hyderabad to Chennai route will be 705 km long. The trains will take just 2 hours to reach Bengaluru and 2 hours 20 minutes to reach Chennai.
Flights from Hyderabad to Bengaluru take about 1 hour 15 minutes, and to Chennai, about 1 hour 20 minutes. But if you include airport procedures and travel to the city, the total journey takes around 2 to 3 hours. High-speed trains are expected to take a similar time but without the hassle of airports.? ? ? ??

The project is still in the survey stage. RITES Limited, a government firm, is working on a detailed report (as per timesnownew). It will include surveys, design plans, and cost estimates. The project will take around 15 years to complete. Once ready, it will make travel faster and more comfortable for many people.
This high-speed rail project will be modeled on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train. It will improve travel for many people in South India. The trains will be fast, reliable, and efficient. With completion expected in 15 years, this project will be a major boost for the region's transportation system.
