Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project: Mega Engineering Update 2025
World-Class Technology & Engineering Marvels:
The Bullet Train project is rewriting the rules of railway construction in India. For the first time, the Full Span Girder Launching Technique is being deployed—an innovation that builds a 40-meter bridge in just 16 hours, nearly 10 times faster than conventional methods. Each girder weighs 970 tons and is placed with millimeter precision using an indigenous 1,100-ton capacity launching gantry.
The route also features India’s first undersea rail tunnel, a 7-km stretch beneath Thane Creek, built with the largest tunnel boring machine ever used in the country. 65,000 MT of special-grade steel for bridges, 12 futuristic stations blending local culture with global standards, and a 32-meter-deep underground station at Mumbai’s BKC, set to become a world-class transit hub.
Beyond concrete and steel, the project is also building capacity. Over 1,000 Indian engineers and technicians are being trained and certified by Japanese experts, ensuring that the knowledge and expertise remain in India for generations to come.
India’s first Bullet Train is more than infrastructure—it’s a leap into the future of high-speed travel.
Progress Updates So Far:
323 km of viaduct already completed out of 465 km
17 river bridges finished out of 25; 9 steel bridges completed out of 28
105 km of RC track bed & 9 km of track slab laid
First turnout crossing installed near Surat Station
Overhead electrification masts installed in 53 km stretch
400,000+ noise barriers in place
Sabarmati multimodal hub completed for seamless connectivity

Bharat’s next leap in rail testing!
“Our new high-speed test tracks will be ready by year-end. Two Vande Bharat trains with altered gear ratios will be tested at 200 kmph, checking all performance parameters.” — ICF R&D official.

Re: Indian Railways Thread (Dec 2015)
Wonderful news. I always wondered why Indian Railways didn't have dedicated test track. However the issue with Semi high speed broad gauge trains in India remains track fencing and a population who still choose to cross railway tracks even though over bridges are availableuddu wrote: ↑05 Oct 2025 21:00 https://x.com/Siege4570/status/1974775922177036737

Re: Indian Railways Thread (Dec 2015)
Yeah, it is the same attitude as darting across busy roads jumping over the median even if an overbridge is available nearby. We specialize in short-circuiting.
