Bullet Train Project Achieves Major Milestone in Gujarat

The Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train project continues to make swift progress, marking a transformative step in India’s transportation infrastructure. According to Railway Supply, a leading railway transport news portal, this high-speed rail corridor is advancing under the leadership of the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL).

Covering a distance of 508 kilometres, the project is India’s first high-speed rail initiative and is estimated to cost over USD 1.2 billion. It aims to substantially reduce travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, offering a faster and more efficient transport alternative.

In a recent breakthrough, NHSRCL successfully launched a 100-metre-long steel bridge span over National Highway 48 (NH-48) near Nadiad, Gujarat. The bridge was installed using a 200-metre sliding method to minimise disruption to road traffic. This structure is specifically engineered for bullet train operations and is part of the government’s Make in India initiative.

NH-48 is a critical highway connecting multiple major cities and typically experiences high vehicular traffic. The precision and planning involved in the bridge installation ensured that public inconvenience was kept to a minimum.

The Mumbai–Ahmedabad high-speed rail project includes a total of 28 steel bridges—17 in Gujarat and 11 in Maharashtra. So far, seven steel bridges have been successfully launched in Gujarat, spanning railway lines, dedicated freight corridors, and major highways.

This development represents a significant leap forward in India’s infrastructure ambitions. Beyond reducing commute times, the bullet train is expected to boost regional economic growth and reshape the future of rail travel across the country.
