Highlights of Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor
The under-construction project is one of the most ambitious infrastructure initiatives of India and symbolises a major leap into the era of high-speed connectivity. The MAHSR spans approximately 508 km — covering 352 km in Gujarat and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and 156 km in Maharashtra. The corridor will connect major cities, including Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, Anand, Vadodara, Bharuch, Surat, Bilimora, Vapi, Boisar, Virar, Thane, and Mumbai.
About 85% of the route (approximately 465 km) will be on viaducts to reduce land disturbance. As per the latest update, 326 km of viaduct work has been completed, and 17 out of 25 river bridges have already been constructed. The train will reduce travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to nearly two hours upon completion of the project.
The Surat-Bilimora section, covering around 47 km, is in an advanced stage of completion, with civil works and track-bed laying fully completed.
Visit to Dediapada
PM Modi is also scheduled to visit Dediapada town in the tribal-dominated Narmada district after the MAHSR review. Gujarat officials confirmed that he would offer prayers at the temple of Pandori Mata (the clan deity of the tribal community) at the nearby Devmogra village.
“Thereafter, the PM will visit Dediapada and participate in a programme marking the 150th birth anniversary celebration of Dharti Aaba Bhagwan Birsa Munda. On the occasion, he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of various infrastructure and development projects costing more than Rs 9,700 crore, and also address the gathering,” the Press Information Bureau confirmed.
