More than 97 per cent of land has been acquired for the bullet prepare mission in Gujarat and Dadra & Nagar Haveli and 30 per cent in Maharashtra, in keeping with the federal government. The work has already begun on the 325 km route (in Gujarat) out of the entire 508 km hall between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

For the development of viaduct superstructures for the high-speed bullet prepare hall, state-of-the-art building strategies comparable to full span launching methodology can be adopted. This will expedite the method of launching girders because the precast girders of full span size can be erected as a single piece for double-track viaduct.

The full span launching methodology is used internationally as it's sooner than the section by section launching methodology, often adopted for the development of viaducts for the metro programs. 

India is now among the many choose group of nations comparable to Korea, Italy, Norway, and China which have been designing and manufacturing such gear for infrastructure initiatives. 

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet prepare hall will cut back the journey time between the 2 main cities to nearly two-three hours, with stoppages in any respect 12 stations alongside its route, in keeping with National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) - answerable for the event, execution, and upkeep of the bullet prepare mission.
