The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR), also known as HSR Mumbai-Ahmedabad, is a high-speed railway line currently under construction. As an introduction, this ambitious project aims to establish a high-speed connection between Mumbai, the economic and financial center of India, and Ahmedabad, the largest city in the state of Gujarat. Once completed, MAHSR will be India's first high-speed railway line.

The projected completion date of the project has been set at December 2023. However, due to land acquisition issues in Maharashtra, the timeline for completion of the entire corridor has become uncertain. However, a lot of work has been done in installing the stations and routes of this high-speed rail corridor.

The high-speed line is designed to include a total of 12 stations. The proposed stations include Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand/Nadiad, Ahmedabad and Sabarmati. To enable seamless connectivity with the Indian railway network, high-speed train stations will be strategically built on top of or adjacent to the existing railway stations. However, this approach to construction is complex and that makes it quite difficult to achieve.

On July 19 this year, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) bagged a major contract worth Rs 15,697 crore from National High-Speed ​​​​Rail Corporation Ltd. (NHSRCL) for this railway project. This contract represents the final phase of the civil works necessary for the construction of the 508-kilometer bullet train on this route. At the same time, work has begun on the Bandra-Kurla complex, the starting point of the Mumbai section of the bullet train.

The three civil packages have been awarded in Maharashtra, which include construction of BKC station (C1), a 21 km tunnel (C2) with a 7 km undersea tunnel and a high-speed rail corridor alignment (C3) of 135 km. Multiple reports suggest that Thane, Virar and Boisar stations will be elevated, while BKC station will be underground.

Anand-Nadiad station achieved a major milestone in April this year by becoming the first HSRC station to complete the concourse level. The sheet metal works, which began in September, included nine sections, all of which were successfully completed on April 12, NHSRCL announced.
