Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project Advances with Overhead Electrification Installation

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project, India's first high-speed rail corridor spanning 508 km with 12 stations, is progressing steadily towards electrification. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted the ongoing installation of over 20,000 overhead electrification masts along the route, including elevated viaduct sections. This development supports the 225 kV traction power system and reflects the 'Make in India' initiative's role in strengthening domestic manufacturing while adopting global high-speed rail technology.
