Track construction works are progressing on the viaduct section of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail corridor in Gujarat’s Navsari, the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) said in a post on X.

NHSRCL, which is the implementing agency for the 508 Km Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project, shared a video showing ongoing track works on the elevated viaduct structure.

According to the corporation, multiple processes including track slab laying, CAM injection filling, and track slab adjustment are currently being carried out in coordination as part of the track installation works.

These processes form part of the specialised track system designed for high-speed rail operations and are aimed at ensuring precise alignment and long-term structural stability of the track infrastructure.
