Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train to Operate with Three-Depot Maintenance Network
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project will feature a three-depot maintenance network at Thane, Surat, and Sabarmati to support train inspections, repairs, and operations along the 508-km corridor. The Sabarmati Rolling Stock Depot is designed for both light and heavy maintenance of 16-car trainsets, including workshops for emergency repairs, wheel reprofiling, and bogie exchange. It will initially have four inspection lines and 10 stabling lines, expandable to eight and 29 respectively, with sustainable infrastructure such as groundwater recharge reservoirs.
