First section of 21 km bullet train undersea tunnel opens in Maharashtra
The bullet train project has achieved a major milestone of opening the first section of the 21 km undersea tunnel between BKC and Thane, according to an official release from the Ministry of Railways. The bullet train project recently achieved a major milestone by completing 310 km of viaduct construction. Track laying, construction of overhead electrical wires, stations, and bridges are going on at a rapid pace. The construction work in Maharashtra has also picked up pace. In parallel, the progress on the procurement of systems for operations and control is also going well, the release highlighted. In the spirit of strategic partnership between Japan and India, the Japanese government has agreed to introduce E10 Shinkansen trains in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet train project. It is noteworthy that E10 will be introduced simultaneously in India and Japan, as per the release. The entire 508 km corridor is being developed with Japanese Shinkansen technology. It will set new benchmarks for speed, safety, and reliability. This reflects the deep strategic and technological cooperation between India and Japan. Civil works are progressing at a rapid pace across the alignment. A 310 km viaduct is constructed. 15 river bridges are completed, and four are in the advanced stages of construction. Out of 12 stations, five are completed and 3 more are now reaching completion stage. The station at BKC is an engineering marvel. The station will be located 32.5 m below ground, and the foundation is designed to support the construction of a 95 m high building above ground. The success of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) project is laying the foundation for future bullet train corridors in India. Future corridors are also under active consideration. This remarkable pace of development showcases India's capability to execute world-class infrastructure using cutting-edge global technology, with Japan playing a pivotal role as a trusted partner in this transformative journey, the release informed.

India-Japan bullet train project on track to reality; 21 km undersea stretch opened
New Delhi, July 14 (UNI) The Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) project has marked a significant milestone with the opening of the first section of the 21-km undersea tunnel between Ghansoli and Shilphata in Maharashtra. This segment is part of the ambitious 508-km corridor being built with Japanese Shinkansen technology. According to a statement from the Union Railways Ministry, civil works are progressing at a rapid pace across the alignment. 'So far, 310 km viaduct has been constructed. 15 river bridges are completed and fourare in the advanced stages of construction. Out of 12 stations, five are completed and three more are now reaching completion stage. The station at BKC is an engineering marvel," it added. The Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) station, located 32.5 meters underground, is designed to support a 95-meter high-rise above it, and is being said to be an engineering marvel in its own right. Track laying, construction of overhead electrical wires, stations, and bridges is going on at a rapid pace. The construction work in Maharashtra has also picked up pace. In parallel, the progress on procurement of systems for operations and control is also going on well, as per the statement. Japan and India have agreed to introduce the next-generation E10 Shinkansen trains, which will debut simultaneously in both countries. The E10, a successor to the E5 model, promises to redefine speed, safety, and reliability for high-speed rail travel in India. UNI AJ RN

Japan's Next-Gen E10 Shinkansen Series To Debut On Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Route
Last Updated: Japan currently operates the E5 series Shinkansen trains at present while the E10 is the next-generation upgrade. The E10 will be introduced simultaneously in India and Japan In the spirit of strategic partnership between Japan and India, the Japanese government has agreed to introduce E10 Shinkansen trains in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project. The ministry of railways made the announcement on Monday, explaining Japan operates the E5 series Shinkansen trains at present while the E10 is the next-generation upgrade. The E10 will be introduced simultaneously in India and Japan, it said. 'The entire 508-km corridor is being developed with Japanese Shinkansen technology. It will set new benchmarks for speed, safety, and reliability. This reflects the deep strategic and technological cooperation between India and Japan," an official statement said. CONSTRUCTION AT RAPID PACE Civil works for the bullet train project are progressing at a rapid pace across the alignment. A total of 310 km of the viaduct is already constructed. Track laying, overhead electrical wiring as well as construction of stations and bridges are on at a rapid pace. In parallel, the progress on procurement of systems for operations and control is also ongoing. In addition, 15 river bridges have been completed and four are in the advanced stages of construction. WORK IN MAHARASHTRA PICKS UP The construction work in Maharashtra has picked up. Earlier this month, the bullet train project achieved a major milestone of opening the first section of the 21-km undersea tunnel between Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and Thane. The ministry termed the station at BKC an engineering marvel. It will be located 32.5 m below the ground and the foundation is designed to support the construction of a 95-metre high building above ground. Earlier this year, the ministry said the timeline for completion of the bullet train project can be 'reasonably ascertained" after all associated civil works related to structures, track, electrical, signalling and telecommunication, and supply of trainsets are done. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) project, for the operation of the bullet train, is passing through Gujarat, Maharashtra, and the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. The length of the project is 508 km with 12 stations planned at Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Billimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad, and Sabarmati. The physical work for the project started in September 2017 with the initial deadline as December 2023. But the project was delayed, and it is now expected that one of the sections can be made operational by 2026 in Gujarat, ahead of the assembly elections in the state. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
