The Thane depot, situated in Thane, Maharashtra, is one of the key components of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, which spans a total distance of 508 kilometers, with 153 kilometers falling within Maharashtra. This ambitious project holds great significance as it is a flagship initiative championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Its execution is entrusted to the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL), a collaborative effort involving the central government and participating state governments.
Designed in the style of Japanese Shinkansen depots, the Thane depot encompasses a sprawling area of 57 hectares and boasts cutting-edge infrastructure. It is engineered to meet the highest safety and reliability standards, much like the renowned Shinkansen or bullet train system in Japan.
