There would soon come a time when high-speed rail (HSR) or bullet train projects might become fully indigenous, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday said after overseeing a triggered blast in Vikhroli here as part of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project which is expected to be completed by 2028.
The minister inspected the progress of the terminal station of the corridor at Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, which is being constructed with a “depth equaling 10 storeys”. The station will also have provisions for possible vertical expansion of up to 30 storeys, the minister said while blaming the Uddhav Thackeray-led previous state government for the project’s delays in Maharashtra.
