The UAE National Adviser Bureau Limited has unveiled a groundbreaking concept for a high-speed underwater train connecting Dubai and Mumbai. This train, which can travel at 1000 kilometers per hour underwater, is intended to transport passengers and essential supplies like drinking water and fuel. If implemented, it would reduce travel time between India and the UAE to just two hours, compared to the current four-hour flight.
The proposal has generated excitement among expatriates, particularly as the expected India-UAE passenger ship service has yet to materialize.
Abdullah Al Shehi, chief consultant at the National Adviser Bureau Limited, noted that the project’s ability to transport both passengers and goods would benefit not only India and the UAE but also other countries along the route. He expressed hope that this initiative would strengthen ties between the two nations.
A video from a YouTube channel linked to the National Advisor Bureau Limited showcases the proposed rail link, which is projected to require billions in investment due to its complex engineering.
This rail link is intended to provide an alternative to air travel, facilitating the transport of passengers and freight, including crude oil, thereby enhancing trade relations between India and the UAE. If approved, the rail link could be operational by 2030, aiming to improve trade and transportation efficiency and offering a competitive travel option for both business and leisure travelers.
But it requires a substantial investment in the billions is necessary because of the technical challenges involved. Enables the movement of both passengers and cargo, such as crude oil.
Aiming for operational launch by 2030, contingent upon securing approvals and funding. Ongoing discussions will influence future progress, which relies on obtaining necessary approvals and financial support.
