The '''Chennai-Mysuru high speed rail corridor''' is India's third [[high-speed rail]] project after the [[Mumbai–Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor|Mumbai Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor]] & [[Delhi–Varanasi high-speed rail corridor |Delhi Varanasi High Speed Rail Corridor]] . The 435 km HSR corridor will connect Chennai to Mysuru through 9 stations.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
In 2013, [[Karnataka]] Chief Minister [[Siddaramaiah]], suggested that the state wanted to run [[Shinkansen|bullet trains]] From [[Mysuru]] to [[Chennai]] via [[Bengaluru]], and was conducting talks with his counterparts in [[Japan]] about the topic.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.railway-technology.com/news/newskarnataka-operate-bullet-trains-bangalore-mysore-chennai| title=Karnataka to operate bullet trains from Bangalore to Mysore and Chennai| website=Railway Technology| access-date=2017-08-17| date=September 18, 2013}}</ref> He commented that the journey could be done in less that two hour though no studies had yet been conducted prior to those words.<br />
<br />
A feasibility study by [[China]] on the project was submitted to the Federal Government in June 2015.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://hsrc.in/projects3.html| title=Projects: Chennai-Bangaluru-Mysore| website=High Speed Rail Corporation of India| access-date=2017-08-17}}</ref> While Germany also proposed to conduct its own feasibility study at the same time.<ref>{{Cite news| url=http://citytoday.news/study-of-high-speed-rail-project-from-germany-on-chennai-bengaluru-mysuru-sector/| title=Study of High Speed Rail Project from Germany on Chennai-Bengaluru-Mysuru sector| date=2017-06-30| work=Mysuru Today| access-date=2017-08-17| language=en-US}}</ref> The then Railways Minister, Suresh Prabhu, suggested that the route would be one of the next high-speed railways to be implemented in India.<ref>{{Cite news| url=http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-suresh-prabhu-promises-new-bullet-train-routes-2131899| title=Suresh Prabhu promises new bullet train routes| date=2015-10-06| work=dna| access-date=2017-08-17| language=en-US}}</ref><br />
<br />
Japan Railway Technical Service (JARTS) and Oriental Consultants submitted a feasibility study in early 2016 about constructing the high-speed railway line through a PPP with the government.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.construction-ic.com/HomePage/Projects?returnUrl=/Projects/Overview/139351| title=(untitled)| website=Construction Intelligence Center| access-date=2017-08-17| url-access=subscription}}</ref> French state-owned company SNCF also expressed an interest in building a high-speed railway line too.<br />
<br />
In early 2017, Indian Railways (IR) responded to a proposal by Elon Musk for a Hyperloop to connect the two cities in thirty minutes, saying that it would be unlikely due to government bureaucracy.<ref>{{Cite news| url=http://detechter.com/chennai-to-bangalore-in-just-30-minutes-hyperloops-high-speed-train-headed-to-india/| title=Chennai to Bangalore in Just 30 minutes - Hyperloop's high-speed train headed to India| date=2017-01-17| work=Detechter| access-date=2017-08-17| language=en-US}}</ref><br />
<br />
During the June 2017 opening of Bengaluru's Green Line Metro, Japan’s Ambassador to India, Kenji Hiramatsu, suggested that the railway line should be built with support from Japanese development funds.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/617994/japan-pushes-bluru-chennai-high.html| title=Japan pushes for B'luru-Chennai high-speed rail| website=Deccan Herald| access-date=2017-08-17| date=June 18, 2017| author=DH News Service}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
The high-speed railway line would mainly be built alongside the existing railway between the two cities. However, a {{convert|38|km|mi|adj=mid|long}} viaduct between Bangarapet and Vaniyambadi, as well as a {{convert|44|km|mi|adj=mid|long}} viaduct between Katpadi and Arakkonam, would need to be constructed due to hilly terrain.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web| url=http://www.webeotransportation.com/copy-of-miami-metro-rail-transbay-e| title=Bangalore to Chennai Bullet Train| date=April 21, 2017| website=Webeo Transportation| access-date=2017-08-17}}</ref><br />
<br />
There would be two new railway stations built underground in Chennai and one at Bengaluru, would witness the high-speed trains, running at around {{convert|320|km/h|abbr=on}}<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
==Stations==<br />
The Chennai Mysuru high speed rail corridor is planned to have a total of nine stations.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://themetrorailguy.com/2021/02/22/aarvee-gsl-wins-chennai-mysuru-hsrs-lidar-alignment-design/ |first=Anshu |last=Agarwal |title=Aarvee-GSL Wins Chennai-Mysuru HSR's LiDAR & Alignment Design|date=22 February 2021 }}</ref><br />
