Rail Welding Begins for Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project

The National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) has entered a pivotal phase in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, initiating rail welding operations in Gujarat. This marks significant progress toward laying tracks for the high-speed rail corridor, which spans 508 kilometres and is designed for speeds of 320 kilometres per hour.

Utilising cutting-edge fusion welding technology, the project employs 25-metre rails imported from Japan. These are joined to form 200-metre rail panels, ensuring seamless and durable tracks capable of withstanding high-speed operations. The welding process is being executed at a dedicated facility in Surat, equipped with advanced machinery to maintain the project’s stringent quality standards.

The welded rail panels will be transported to various sections of the alignment for installation, accelerating the project’s progress. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train, a flagship initiative under India-Japan collaboration, aims to revolutionise travel between the two cities, reducing travel time significantly and setting new benchmarks in rail infrastructure.

With this development, the NHSRCL is closer to achieving its goal of operationalising the bullet train, expected to boost regional connectivity and economic growth while showcasing India’s technological advancements in transportation.
