NHSRCL Signs Contract for Thane Rolling Stock Depot Construction
The Thane depot, spanning approximately 55 hectares, will initially feature 4 inspection lines and 10 stabling lines, with future plans to expand to 8 and 31, respectively. Additionally, about 200 pieces of depot machinery, adhering to Shinkansen standards, will be procured from Japan to facilitate the maintenance of high-speed train sets.
As part of the Mumbai – Ahmedabad High-Speed Corridor (Bullet Train Project), the Thane Rolling Stock Depot, along with depots in Sabarmati and Surat, will play a pivotal role in servicing the ambitious venture, drawing inspiration from the renowned Shinkansen depots in Japan.
