See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_India  and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CF48TMP...PointHindi 

Looks like the second bullet train corridor is going to be Mumbai-Nagpur. Odisha should pursue  Nagpur-Raipur-Bhubaneswar-Puri bullet train corridor as well as access-controlled expressway.
