Completed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest RTI response, dated September 21, shows that the project had achieved 62.16% physical progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foundation work has been completed across 459.90 km, while piers have been completed along 455.10 km of the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 380 km of girders have been cast, with girders already erected along 366 km of the viaduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All 1,389 Hectares Of Land Acquired<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire land requirement for the project has now been fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 1,389.49 hectares has been acquired for the 508-km corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of this, 959.04 hectares is in Gujarat and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, while 430.45 hectares is in Maharashtra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Land acquisition in Maharashtra had previously been one of the key factors affecting the project&#8217;s progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mumbai Section Still Under Construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction activity is continuing across Maharashtra, particularly around the Mumbai end of the corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While foundation and superstructure work has been completed at all stations in Gujarat, finishing activities are currently underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Station construction is still progressing at locations in Maharashtra, including the stations planned at Thane, Virar and Boisar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The underground station at Bandra Kurla Complex is also part of the Mumbai section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>21-Km Tunnel Includes Undersea Section<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most challenging components of the project is the approximately 21-km tunnel between the Mumbai and Thane areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes a 7-km undersea section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tunnel boring machine work is currently underway, while 4.88 km of tunnel constructed using the New Austrian Tunnelling Method has already been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excavation has also broken through at four of the project&#8217;s eight mountain tunnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Track Work Has Also Started<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Track-related construction is progressing alongside the civil works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of August 27, track slabs had been laid across 97 route kilometres, including CAM injection work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project also includes extensive electrical and signalling infrastructure that will be required before high-speed train operations can begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First Indian-Made Trainset Under Construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first trainset for the corridor is now under construction in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Integral Coach Factory in Chennai has awarded BEML an order to design, manufacture and commission two high-speed trainsets for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction of the first trainset has already started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Completion Date Still Not Finalised<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite more than 62% physical progress, the exact completion date of the entire Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project has not yet been finalised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NHSRCL has said that the anticipated completion timeline can be determined only after all contract packages are awarded and the required trainsets are supplied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project will eventually connect Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad and Sabarmati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project has achieved 62.16% physical progress, according to a September 2026 RTI response. All 1,389.49 hectares required for the 508-km corridor have been acquired. More than 366 km of viaduct girders have been erected, while tunnel, track, station and depot construction continues. The project&#8217;s final completion timeline has not yet been determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India&#8217;s Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project has crossed a major construction milestone, with 62.16% of the overall physical work completed, according to an RTI response from the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited.
