Per capita income and forex reserves will be even higher till other projects start. Ahmedabad-Mumbai corridor is indeed on priority and Maharashtra government is deliberately trying to divert funds for project to other lines to somehow delay or stall project.

(i) Delhi-Noida-Agra-Kanpur-Lucknow-Varanasi and (vii) Varanasi-Patna-Howrah should have been sanctioned 1 year ago. Work on land acquisition, likely the biggest hurdle, would have finished by now in UP (it is too close to elections to announce it now) and land acquisition in Bengal would start in May (also the biggest hurdle). These corridors would be complete by 2027 at the latest. Now, we are looking at potentially a 2032 timeframe.

India's First High-Speed Rail To Contribute In Easing Dependence On Crude Oil Import - Energy News India- Power News India, Energy, Oil and Gas News

The high-speed rail will be powered by indigenous electric power, unlike diesel, petrol, or aviation fuel. It is a proven environment-friendly transport option, according to the NHSRCL, responsible for developing and implementing the bullet train project.


Data from the National High-Speed Rail Corporation’s website shows, the carbon emission for a 600 km trip per passenger by the high-speed rail is 8.1 kg, compared to 67.4 kg for car travel and 93 kg for airplane travel, according to a study by the International Union of Railways.

Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train update: NHSRCL casts first full height pier for high speed rail network
NHSRCL Spokesperson Sushma Gaur said the NHSRCL took a significant step forward in its construction work by casting the first full height pier near Gujarat's Vapi at Chainage 167 on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor which will run through 12 stations connecting Maharashtra, Dadar & Nagar Haveli and Gujarat.

This major construction milestone has been achieved despite severe shortage of manpower and other logistical challenges because of ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and monsoon season.

The National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) on Saturday said it has cast the first full height pier on the 508-km Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR) project, popularly known as the Bullet Train project.

NHSRCL Spokesperson Sushma Gaur said the NHSRCL took a significant step forward in its construction work by casting the first full height pier near Gujarat's Vapi at Chainage 167 on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor which will run through 12 stations connecting Maharashtra, Dadar & Nagar Haveli and Gujarat.

"The average height of the pier on this corridor is nearly 12-15 metre and exact height of this pier is 13.05 metres, which is almost equivalent to a four-storey building," she added.

A look at a detailed operational plan of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train once project is completed
Year

Train configuration	10	10/16	16	16
Number of rakes	24	24+11	44	71
Number of trains (per day/one-direction)	35	51	64	105
Train capacity	750	750/1250	1250	1250
Passenger seats (day/one direction)	17,900	31,700	56,800	92,900
Number of trains (per day/one direction)	Peak Hour	3	4	6	8
Off peak	2	3	3	6

She said the pier was cast with 183 cubic metres of concrete quantity and 18.820 MT of steel. The special shuttering arrangement in the lift is one of the major features of the corridor providing better quality in eight hours, Gaur added.

"This major construction milestone has been achieved despite severe shortage of manpower and other logistical challenges because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing monsoon season in the region. There are number of such piers planned to be cast in coming months paving way for the first high speed rail corridor," she said.

NHSRCL building India's first high speed rail project

NHSRCL is the executing agency mandated with building India's first high speed rail corridor between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on September 14, 2017 had laid the foundation stone for the ambitious Rs 1.08 lakh crore ($17 billion) project. The bullet trains are expected to run at speeds of 320 km per hour covering the 508-km stretch in nearly two hours.

In comparison trains currently plying on the route take more than seven hours to travel the distance whereas flights take about an hour.

The NHSRCL has awarded several tenders for the construction of railway tracks, railway bridges, tunnels, railway stations and depots for the project till date.

First Full Span 40 m Box Girder being cast for Mumbai - Ahmedabad High Speed Rail corridor by National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL)

Weighing around 970 MT, it will be the heaviest Pre-Stressed Concrete Box Girder in India

Planning of casting yards and heavy machinery for launching is being done to meet peak requirement of approx 300 Full Span Box Girder in a month

Posted On: 29 OCT 2021 6:30PM by PIB Delhi



NHSRCL started the casting of the First Full Span Pre-Stressed Concrete (PSC) Box Girder of 40 meter span to expedite the construction of viaduct for Mumbai- Ahmedabad High Speed Rail corridor (MAHSR), in a casting yard in Anand, Gujarat on 28th October 2021.


PSC Box Girder of 40 m span weighs around 970 MT and will be the heaviest PSC Box Girder in the construction industry of India. The 40 m Span Girder is being cast in a single piece i.e. without any construction joint, involving 390 Cum of Concrete and 42 MT of steel.


Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Project is 508 km long and out of 508 Km, 352 Km lies in the state of Gujarat (348 Km) and Dadra & Nagar Haveli (4 Km), and the balance 156 Km lies in the state of Maharashtra. Out of 352 Km, M/s L&T is the executing agency for 325 Km length.


To expedite construction of viaduct, construction of substructure and superstructure has been taken up in parallel. While the work of substructure i.e. Pile, Pile Cap, Pier and Pier Cap, is in progress, for superstructure, casting yards have been developed along the alignment to cast Full Span Girders and Segmental Girders so that they can be launched using heavy machinery over casted Pier Caps.


For casting of Girders, twenty-three casting yards are being developed along the alignment. Each casting yard is spread in an area of 16 - 93 acres as per requirement and is located near to the alignment. For expeditious casting of Girders with quality, facilities like jigs for making Rebar cage, Casting Beds with Hydraulically Operated Pre-Fabricated Moulds, Batching Plants, Aggregate stacking area, Cement Silos, and Labour Camps have been developed in each casting yard.


Most of the Girders will be of Full Span 30, 35 & 40 m, however, for locations having site constraint, segmental launching of small precast segments will be used. Full Span Girder are preferred over Segmental Girder as their launching progress is seven times faster.


These Precast Girders will be launched using heavy machinery like Straddle Carrier, Bridge Gantry, Transporter and Launching Gantry. To ensure the continuous supply of girders for launching, the Girders will be cast in these casting yards in advance and stacked in a systematic manner. The Straddle Carrier will pick the Box Girder from the stacking yard and will feed to the Bridge Gantry, which in turn will lift the Box Girder and place it over the bearing on Pier Cap. Bridge gantry will launch first 3-4 Box Girder, on which Girder Transporter will be placed and further launching of Girders in sequential manner will continue using Transporter and Launching Gantry.


Planning of casting yards and heavy machinery for launching has been done in such a way so as to meet peak requirement of approx 300 Full Span Box Girder Casting and Launching in a month, which equals to approx 12 Km of superstructure casting & erection in a month.

I still hate that we are using Japanese trains

Why? I am glad. European trains are just too expensive and not the right fit for India. Japanese trains are a better fit. At least that's what I was told in layman terms.

Japanese HSR is designed and configured according to Japanese use case. They run on different gauge than other HSR.
Outside Japan they had very limited success. Their HSR in few countries is getting replaced with either Chinese or European options.
