Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project Slab Casting Starts at Virar Station

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project has advanced with the commencement of casting the first slab at the Virar Bullet Train station. A total of nine slabs will be constructed at this level, which will serve as the foundation for track laying at the station.

The Virar Bullet Train station is designed to have two levels—a concourse level and a rail level—extending to a total length of 425 meters.

The first slab cast measures 50 meters in length and 35.32 meters in width, with an approximate thickness of 300 mm. This slab required 1,555 cubic meters of concrete.

In recent developments, the project’s first Shinkansen bullet train has entered the trial phase in Japan. Under the Indo-Japanese collaboration, Japan will provide two Shinkansen train sets—one from the E5 series and one from the E3 series—for initial inspection and performance testing.

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project is a high-speed rail corridor currently under construction, covering a distance of 508 kilometers between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, with 12 stations planned along the route. Of these, four stations are situated in Maharashtra, while the remaining eight are in Gujarat.
