According to a report on Japan's “Yomiuri Shimbun” website on July 18, in response to the fact that the opening time of the western Indian high-speed rail line built using Japanese Shinkansen technology far exceeds the set target of 2023, Japan's former Minister of Justice Hideki Makihara posted on the X social platform: “100% is India's responsibility.” This statement has aroused dissatisfaction among the Indian government. The report said that the high-speed railway mentioned by Makihara connects Mumbai and Ahmedabad. The initial goal was to open in 2023, but due to land expropriation and other issues, the opening was delayed, and is currently expected to be partially opened to traffic in August 2027.
