Vaishnaw shares update on bullet train project
New Delhi: Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared an update on the country's ambitious Bullet Train Project on Tuesday, announcing the completion of 300 kilometres of viaduct. Taking to his official handle on X, the minister posted a video along with the caption, '300 km viaduct completed. -- Bullet Train Project.' The project is being implemented by the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL). Approximately 76 per cent of the excavation work has been completed on the Mumbai bullet train station located at Bandra Kurla Complex, which is the only underground station on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor. According to a release, 14.2 lakh cubic metres of the excavation work has been completed. 18.7 lakh cubic metres of earthwork must be excavated from this site. Three batching plants of 120 cum/hr capacity are functional at site. Batching plants are provided with an ice plant and a chiller plant that help control concrete temperature. The site is provided with a modern concrete lab, with facilities like a Water Permeability Test, a Rapid Chloride Penetration Test, etc. All concrete tests are conducted at the site, and samples are intermittently sent to a reputed lab. Base Slab is being cast with M-60 grade of temperature-controlled concrete. Each base slab casting required 3,000 to 4,000 cubic metres of concrete at controlled temperatures, which is being produced by in-situ batching plants and chiller plants. The platform is planned at a depth of about 26 metres below ground level. There will be three floors including platform, concourse and service floor. Excavation for the said work is being done till a depth of 32 metres (approx. 100 ft) from the ground level, which is equivalent to a 10-storey building.

Bullet train hits triple century, construction of viaduct completed on 300 km corridor track, its top speed will be...,watch viral video
Bullet train hits triple century, construction of viaduct completed on 300 km corridor track, its top speed will be...,watch viral video India's first Bullet Train corridor between Mumbai and Ahmedabad has reached a significant construction milestone with the successful completion of 300 km of viaducts. According to the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) statement, this achievement was marked by the launching of a 40 metre-long girder near Surat, Gujarat. In a post on X(previously Twitter), Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared the update on the successful completion of 300 km of viaducts. This milestone was achieved with the successful launch of a 40-meter-long full-span box girder near Surat in Gujarat. 300 km viaduct completed. — Bullet Train Project — Ashwini Vaishnaw (@AshwiniVaishnaw) May 20, 2025 The bullet train is likely to run at a maximum speed of 320 kilometers per hour, covering a total distance of 508 kilometers, with 351 kilometers in Gujarat and 157 kilometers in Maharashtra. Notably, 92% of the route (468 km) will be on elevated tracks. 'Out of 300 km of superstructure, 257.4 km is constructed through Full Span Launching Method (FSLM) including 14 river bridges, 37.8 km through Span by Span (SBS), 0.9 km steel bridges (10 spans ranging from 60 to 130 m in 7 bridges), 1.2 km PSC bridges (20 spans ranging from 40 to 80 m in 5 bridges) and 2.7 km in station building, ' National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) stated. For constructing 257.4 km of viaduct through FSLM and 37.8 km of viaduct through SBS, 6455 & 925 spans of 40 m each, respectively, were used. According to the news agency ANI report, the project has supported the use of indigenously designed and manufactured equipment such as Straddle Carriers, Launching Gantries, Bridge Gantries, and Girder Transporters for construction. This marks a first for Indian infrastructure, showcasing India's growing capabilities in high-speed rail technology with the support of the Japanese government. The adoption of the Full Span Launching Method has significantly accelerated construction, as full-span girder erection is up to ten (10) times faster than conventional segmental methods. Each full-span box girder weighs 970 metric tons. Segmental girders are used selectively in locations where full-span installation is not feasible. A total of 27 dedicated casting yards were established along the corridor to facilitate construction. Steel bridges are fabricated in seven workshops spread all across the country, three in Gujarat, one each in Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and West Bengal truly exemplifying the spirit of unity of our country. As per the ANI report, more than 3 lakh noise barriers have been installed along the viaducts to mitigate noise during operations. In addition to the viaducts, the project has also completed 383 km of pier work, 401 km of foundation work and 326 km of girder casting. The thematic Bullet Train stations are rapidly taking shape. These stations will be integrated with the rail and road based transport system to provide seamless travel to passengers. The stations will be equipped with state-of-the-art passenger amenities. Track works over viaducts have also started, and around 157 track km of RC track bed construction has been achieved so far in Gujarat. The rolling stock depots with modern infrastructure are also getting ready in Maharashtra and Gujarat. India's First Bullet Train Project: A Journey Into The Future(Photo Credit: According to the official website of National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), after starting from Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) area in Maharashtra, the high-speed train running at a speed of 320 km/h will revolutionise intercity travel in the region and will integrate the economies of Mumbai, Vapi, Surat, Anand, Vadodara & Ahmedabad. It will have stops at 10 cities in between namely Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad and will terminate at Sabarmati. The entire journey will be completed in about 2 hours 7 minutes with limited stops (at Surat, Vadodara and Ahmedabad), which is substantially less than the time taken by conventional trains or road journeys.
