JICA has been supporting the MAHSR project by providing ODA (official development assistance) loans of JPY 350,000 million (approximately Rs 20,000 crore) in total since 2017. The objective of the project is to develop a high-frequency mass transportation system by constructing the high-speed rail between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, using Japan's Shinkansen technology (also known as the "Bullet Train"), thereby enhancing mobility in India and contributing to regional economic development.
