The Gujarat section of the MAHSR corridor is 352 kilometres long, which includes around 4 kilometres in Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Completion of more than 330 kilometres of viaduct means over 93 per cent of the elevated corridor in Gujarat is now structurally ready.

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail project is India’s first high-speed rail corridor and is being implemented to introduce bullet train technology in the country. The project aims to significantly reduce travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad while improving regional connectivity.

Viaduct construction forms a major component of the project, particularly in Gujarat where large sections of the alignment are elevated. The completion of more than 330 kilometres of viaduct reflects substantial progress in civil works across the state.

The Gujarat section of the corridor includes multiple stations, depots, and associated infrastructure works that are progressing in parallel with viaduct construction. The elevated structures are designed to meet the technical and safety standards required for high-speed rail operations.

Once completed, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor is expected to play a transformative role in intercity travel in western India and serve as a model for future high-speed rail projects planned across the country.
