Amritsar–Jammu High Speed Rail Corridor is a proposed high-speed rail line connecting Punjab's city, Amritsar with Jammu and Kashmir's winter capital, Jammu.[3] It was one of the six new high-speed rail corridors planned in 2019. The line will be an extension of Delhi–Amritsar line.[4][5]
This high-speed route will cut short the travelling time from New Delhi to Jammu by ten hours.[4] This line is set to provide economic boost to Jammu as well as improve tourism connectivity for Vaishno Devi pilgrims.[6]
