Set to be the third high-speed rail line project of India involving Mumbai and also the third involving Hyderabad, this project will reduce the travel time between the two cities from existing 15 hours journey to around 3.5 hours journey. The terminal for this corridor may be built in Navi Mumbai, which is planned to be integrated with the currently under-construction international airport. Besides the airport, it will be linked with Navi Mumbai Metro and the connectivity is further set to expand with a connection to the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, work on which is underway.[2]

At the other end, the line will terminate at the Hyderabad High Speed Rail Hub which is planned to be constructed over 500 acres in Shamshabad, close to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.[5] This High Speed Rail Hub will provide connectivity to the Hyderabad–Bengaluru high speed rail corridor and the Hyderabad–Chennai high speed rail corridor, and also provide easy transfers to the Hyderabad airport.[6]
