The upcoming high-speed rail project connecting Bengaluru and Chennai is called:

Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor
Dedicated Freight Corridor
Delhi-Meerut Rapid Rail Corridor
Chennai-Bengaluru High-Speed Rail Corridor (CBHSRL)

The correct answer is: D) Chennai-Bengaluru High-Speed Rail Corridor (CBHSRL)

The Chennai-Bengaluru High-Speed Rail Corridor (CBHSRL) is a proposed high-speed rail line connecting the cities of Chennai and Bengaluru in India. The line is expected to be 508 kilometers long and will have a maximum speed of 320 kilometers per hour. The project is being developed by the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) and is expected to be completed by 2026.

The CBHSRL is one of the eight high-speed rail corridors that are being planned in India. The other seven corridors are:

  • Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor
  • Delhi-Mumbai High-Speed Rail Corridor
  • Delhi-Chennai High-Speed Rail Corridor
  • Delhi-Kolkata High-Speed Rail Corridor
  • Chennai-Hyderabad High-Speed Rail Corridor
  • Mumbai-Nagpur High-Speed Rail Corridor
  • Ahmedabad-Vadodara High-Speed Rail Corridor

The CBHSRL is expected to have a significant impact on the economy of the region. It is expected to generate employment, boost tourism, and improve connectivity between the two cities. The project is also expected to reduce travel time between Chennai and Bengaluru from the current 8 hours to just 2 hours.

The CBHSRL is a major infrastructure project that is expected to have a significant impact on the economy and society of India. The project is currently in the planning stage and is expected to be completed by 2026.

The other options are incorrect because they are not high-speed rail projects connecting Bengaluru and Chennai.

  • Option A: Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor is a high-speed rail project connecting the cities of Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
  • Option B: Dedicated Freight Corridor is a freight rail project that is being developed to improve the efficiency of freight transportation in India.
  • Option C: Delhi-Meerut Rapid Rail Corridor is a rapid rail project connecting the cities of Delhi and Meerut.
