India is all planning to get an underwater rail link to Dubai. According to a report, UAE is looking forward to developing an underwater rail network between Fujairah UAE and Mumbai, India. There is clear hope that both nations might travel vis undersea rail link.

According to the reports, the founder of National Advisor Bureau Limited Alshehhi quoted, “This is a concept. We plan to connect Indian city of Mumbai with Fujairah through ultra-speed floating trains. The project aims to boost bilateral trade. There will be the export of oil to India from Fujairah port and import of excess water from Narmada River, north of Mumbai. In addition, other GCC partners can also improve export and import.

Alshehhi further said that many facts are to be taken into consideration for this concept to take shape and become reality. There will be a feasibility study of the project first to find out whether it is possible for such a rail network to work.

Meanwhile, the planning for the network is on an initial stage right now and if it happens it will be used for travel and export and import both. The total rail network between the two cities will less than 2000 km. India will be reciprocating it by providing fresh water to Dubai in return.

There are reports that also states that apart from the rail network for passenger transit, there are plans facilitating the exchange of goods from India to UAE and export of oil through the pipeline as well.

Interestingly, India is on a developing pace. In our expected daily routines we always want to see the world going through a gigantic transformation. And this time this going to be lucky as the underwater rail which will connect India to Dubai is coming to our ways.
