New Delhi: The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project promises to give a major boost to India’s transportation sector. The project is steadily progressing, bringing India’s high-speed rail ambitions closer to reality. According to the reports, the project witnessed a significant milestones across Gujarat, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, and Maharashtra along the 508 km corridor. Out of the total length, 293 km of viaduct construction has been completed. Pier works now cover 375 km, while pier foundation work spans 394 km. Girder casting has reached 320 km, indicating strong momentum.

Structural work is complete at six of eight planned stations in Gujarat, with track bed construction advancing along 143 km of the viaduct. More than 3 lakh noise barriers have been installed over a 150 km stretch to minimize operational noise. According to the reports, the river crossings have also seen rapid progress. Bridges across 14 rivers, including Par, Purna, Mindhola, and Ambika, are now completed.

Approximately 3.3 km of tunneling has been completed using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM). Additionally, the Vikhroli and Sawli shafts have reached significant depths of 56 meters and 39 meters, respectively. In Maharashtra’s Palghar district, seven mountain tunnels are currently under construction.

Work on Mumbai’s bullet train station is gaining pace. Excavation for the base slab is around 75% complete, with 25,000 cubic meters of concrete already poured. Meanwhile, overhead equipment mast (OHE) installation has begun between Surat and Bilimora stations, covering approximately 2 km of viaduct.

With this steady pace, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train — India’s first — is on course to redefine travel with speed, efficiency, and world-class infrastructure.
