The Chennai–Hyderabad High Speed Rail Corridor is a planned high-speed rail line connecting the capital of Tamil Nadu, Chennai with the capital Telangana, Hyderabad via the capital of Andhra Pradesh, Amaravati. When completed, it will be one of key links in India's high-speed rail line network along the east coast. Set to be the third high-speed rail line project of India involving Hyderabad, it will reduce the travel time between the cities of Chennai and Hyderabad from existing 12 hours to around 2.5 hours. The corridor via Amaravati was first proposed by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu in October 2024, requesting the union government to provide a high-speed rail connectivity between the southern economic hubs of Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Amaravati, with the works stated to commence in 2026 post approval.
