NHSRC-JRTC inks track designing pact for Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train

High Speed rail
The National High Speed Rail Corporation has signed an agreement with Japan Railway Track Consultant Company for the designing of high-speed rail track works for the T2 package covering 237 km between Vadodara to Vapi in Gujarat for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor project. As per the agreement, JRTC will provide the detailed design and drawing of major HSR track components like RC track bed, track slab arrangement and continuous welded rail forces. The MoU will ensure the transfer of technology from the Japanese high-speed rail system to India and give a boost to the MAHSR project as well as to the Make in India initiative. The NHSRCL has also started the light detection and ranging survey for the preparation of a detailed project report for the Mumbai-Nagpur high-speed rail corridor of approximately 736 km. The LiDAR technology and imagery sensors are deployed in an aeroplane to capture the data related to the ground survey. The technology provides all ground details and data in 3-4 months wherein this process normally takes 10-12 months. The proposed plan for the Mumbai-Nagpur HSR corridor will connect Mumbai with cities/towns like Nagpur, Khapri Depot, Wardha, Pulgoan, Karanja Lad, Malegaon Jahangir, Mehkar, Jalna, Aurangabad, Shirdi, Nashik, Igatpuri and Shahapur.
