L&T gets large order for Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project

Larsen and Toubro (L&T) on Monday announced that it has bagged a large order for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project. The company classifies a contract worth Rs 2,500-5,000 crore as a large order.

L&T said its Transportation Infrastructure business had secured the order from National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL). Under the contract, L&T will construct 156 route km (RKM) of high-speed ballastless track (Package T1) for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR) corridor.

This is the company's second track-work package win in MAHSR. In April 2022, NHSRCL had awarded Package T3 (116 km) from south of Vadodara city to Sabarmati depot, and the project is progressing rapidly, L&T said.


The company added that it is now responsible for over 50 per cent of the track-works in MAHSR. Japanese Shinkansen J Slab Track Technology is being adopted for the track-works, enabling up to 320 kmph speed, better ride quality, increased service life and maintainability.
