Construction of the Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) corridor has achieved significant progress, with 352 km of viaducts and 446 km of pier work completed across the 508-km alignment, marking another major milestone for India’s first bullet train project.
The project has witnessed rapid advancement in civil construction works over the past year. Along with the completion of 352 km of viaduct structures, work on foundations, girders, stations, bridges, tunnels and track infrastructure is progressing simultaneously across multiple sections of the corridor.
Several key engineering achievements have been recorded, including the completion of numerous river bridges and steel bridges, while construction of station buildings, rolling stock depots and track systems continues at various locations in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
The project recently achieved its third mountain tunnel breakthrough in Maharashtra, adding momentum to work on the corridor’s most challenging sections. Construction is also advancing on the 21-km underground stretch in Mumbai, which includes India’s first undersea rail tunnel beneath Thane Creek.
The Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail corridor will span 508 km, connecting Mumbai in Maharashtra with Ahmedabad in Gujarat through 12 stations. Once operational, the line is expected to significantly reduce travel time between the two cities while introducing high-speed rail technology to India.
The corridor is being implemented by the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) with technical and financial support from Japan. The project remains one of the country’s largest transportation infrastructure initiatives and continues to record steady progress across its various construction packages.
