The Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (MRIDCL) will be executing the Pune-Nashik high-speed railway project on broad gauge. The project got in-principle approval from the union railway ministry on Sunday.
“We have got in-principle approval for the Pune-Nashik high-speed railway project after the meeting held with the union railway ministry on Sunday. The railway ministry has suggested a few technical clarifications on which we will be working. The project will be executed on broad gauge,” said Rajesh Kumar Jaiswal, managing director, MRIDCL.
Broad gauge has its own advantages including better running of trains, higher load capacities even on poor ground, and higher speeds.
