In an RTI reply, the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) said that the completion date of the entire 508 km-long bullet train project can be assessed only after all work tenders have been awarded. NHSRCL is constructing the corridor.
However, an official associated with the ambitious project said that the Bullet Train project is on track. The official informed that construction of 163 km of viaduct, 302 km of piers, and 323 km of foundations has taken place.
According to NHSRCL sources, in March 2023, the first civil contract for the Maharashtra portion was awarded as a significant portion of the land required for the project in Maharashtra was unavailable.
