A historic project is being implemented between the cities of Dubai and Mumbai, India. Within the framework of this project, it is planned to lay a railway under the Arabian Sea with a length of about 2000 kilometers. This railway will be used not only for passenger transportation, but also for cargo transportation. This line is expected to play an important role in transporting critical resources, especially oil and water, between the two countries.
It is noted that this huge project will be a first in its field. The fact that two countries have sacrificed billions of dollars for this project reveals the importance and seriousness of the project. In fact, such a railway project between Dubai and India has been on the agenda since 2018. However, it is observed that a concrete step has been taken only now.
The rapid launch of this project by the United Arab Emirates also reveals the competition in the region. The large-scale projects carried out by Saudi Arabia in recent years, especially in the Middle East, create a need for other countries to take similar steps. In this context, comments are made that Dubai wants to respond to Saudi Arabia with this project. This project, if successful, will undoubtedly affect regional dynamics and competitiveness.
