Following a massive political victory in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday visited the Surat Bullet Train Station to review the ongoing work. The project is being executed using cutting-edge engineering technology that meets international standards.
Construction Progress Gains Momentum
The Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor spans 508 km, making it one of India’s largest and most advanced infrastructure projects.
Key progress highlights include:
-
465 km of bridges planned, representing 85% of the entire project
