Bullet train project: Bids invited for construction of underground station in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex
The National High Speed Railway Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) on Friday invited bids for the construction of an underground station at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) for the Mumbai- Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor, an official said.
The NHSRCL is the implementing agency for the bullet train project, under which the train will be run between Ahmedabad and Mumbai on a high speed rail corridor at a speed of 320 kmph, covering a distance of 508 km and 12 stations.
The train is expected to reduce the travel time between the two cities to about three hours from the current six hours. “Bids invited for design and construction of Mumbai underground station and tunnels for #BulletTrain,” railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said in a tweet.
