India is moving towards developing its own next-generation bullet trains, with the proposed B35 high-speed train being designed for speeds of up to 350 kmph by 2030. The plan comes even as the country prepares to test its first indigenous B28 bullet trains, which are expected to begin trials in 2027.
The B35 programme is part of India's broader push to build domestic capabilities in high-speed rail technology. The proposed trains are expected to serve future high-speed rail corridors being planned across the country.
