India’s First Indigenous Bullet Train B28 Set for 2027 Debut on Surat-Vapi Stretch
The B28 trainset is especially significant because it represents India’s move towards domestic capability in high-speed rolling stock. BEML was awarded the contract by the Integral Coach Factory to design, manufacture and commission two high-speed trainsets. The project is valued at around ₹866.87 crore and is being seen as a foundation for future indigenous high-speed rail development.
