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. This line is set to provide economic boost to Jammu as well as improve tourism connectivity for Vaishno Devi pilgrims.[6]
