A talk at the Make In India week between the Indian Railways' AK Mittal and Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis gave a much-needed push to the pending high-speed bullet train project. Fadnavis suggested that the MMRDA and Indian Railways discuss the road ahead for the 4,000 hectare Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) land needed to build the Mumbai-Ahmedabad rail corridor.

The chat also culminated in the decision to construct an International Finance Centre, which the state hopes will not only up real-estate prices in the area, but also lend a boost to the economy thanks to increased footfall of commuters.
