THE CONSUL General of Japan in Mumbai Ryoji Noda on Monday expressed concern over the slow pace of land acquisition for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project. December 2018 deadline has been missed, he said, but could not tell if this would delay the scheduled completion of the project by 2022. There are 321 Japanese establishments in Gujarat and 347 Japanese nationals live in the state, after signing contract.
