Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project Advances with the Completion of ADIT TunnelThe Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project, spanning 508.17 km, achieved a significant milestone with the completion of a 394-meter-long Additionally Driven Intermediate Tunnel (ADIT) in Navi Mumbai by Afcons Infrastructure. The ADIT, located on the eastern side of Package C-2, serves as an access point for initiating excavation work for the main...

The ADIT, featuring a 42-meter deep inclined shaft, will allow for NATM tunneling in two directions, westward towards Sawli's Shaft-3 (1.6 km) and eastward towards Shilphata's tunnel portal (1.8 km). Package C-2, awarded to Afcons Infrastructure in June 2023, encompasses the construction of three shafts at BKC Station, Vikhroli, and Sawli, which will serve as launch and retrieval points for three Mega Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). The TBMs will bore approximately 16 kilometers of tunnel. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR), India's first bullet train project, features 12 stations and is designed for bullet trains operating at speeds of up to 320 kmph. The project is expected to commence operations in August 2026.

ADIT mein 42 meter deep inclined shaft hai aur isse NATM tunneling do directions mein hogi, westward Sawli's Shaft-3 ki taraf (1.6 km) aur eastward Shilphata ke tunnel portal ki taraf (1.8 km). June 2023 mein Afcons Infrastructure ko Package C-2 diya gaya tha jisme BKC Station, Vikhroli, aur Sawli mein teen shafts banane ka kaam hai. Yeh shafts three Mega Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) ke liye launch and retrieval points ka kaam karenge. TBMs around 16 kilometer tunnel bore karenge. Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR), India ka pehla bullet train project hai, jisme 12 stations hain aur yeh bullet trains ke liye designed hai jo 320 kmph ki speed se chalenge. August 2026 mein project start hone ki ummeed hai.
