Larsen & Turbo Grabs Rs 24,000 Crore Bullet Train Project

This contract is related to the bullet train project between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

Larsen & Turbo stated that they have already started the work, and their employees are on-ground.

In a statement, NHSRCL said, “There will be a boost in the demand of construction material and machinery like cement, steel, heavy construction machinery, cranes, trailers, etc. The ancillary industries like hospitality, entertainment, health, tourism, real estate and housing and education will also flourish during the construction,”
