Once the corridors have been completed, NHSRCL will further extend the lines to form a network of high-speed rail connectivity in India, which is also known as the Diamond Quadrilateral. [5] [6] [7]
It is the first high-speed rail corridor to be implemented in India, with technical and financial assistance of the Japan, with total twelve stations in the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat and union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
