NHSRCL signs MoU with Japan Railway Technical Service
01 May 2021
The National High-Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japan Railway Technical Service (JARTS) for training and certification and advisory services for the construction of track works for Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor (under package no MAHSR-T-1, T-2 and T-3). The track packages for the MAHSR project are now opened for participation by Indian contractors with the stipulation that the contractor’s workforce would undergo specialised technical training related to Shinkansen track technology before the start of work at the site. The slab track system used for Shinkansen-High Speed Rail in Japan is highly specialised and requires the use of special machines. A similar system will be adopted for the MAHSR project.
