Mumbai-Surat bullet train project turned residents of Surat into billionaires

Residents of the Antroli, Niyol and Mohni villages in Surat turned billionaires overnight, after the Central government paid them crores of rupees in exchange for the tracts of their land that were taken over for the ambitious Mumbai – Surat bullet train project. They are now buying more land, investing in Fixed Deposits, taking foreign tours and planning to send their children or grandchildren abroad with their newfound riches.
