Besides Package C6, India’s National High Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) today also received 8 bids to fabricate and install 28 steel truss bridges on the 508.17 km Mumbai – Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR Bullet Train) project which’ll connect both cities through 12 stations at an estimated cost of Rs. 1.1 lakh crore (US$15 billion).

Per NHSRCL, an estimated 70,000 MT of steel will be used for the fabrication of these 28 steel bridges and they’ve already sensitized the steel industry to cater such a huge demand for the India’s first High Speed Rail corridor.

NHSRCL had invited tenders (bids) for this package on February 24, 2020 under two lots, X and Y, for steel truss bridges of various sizes over roads, highways and railway crossings across Maharashtra and Gujarat. Its estimated value and period of completion are unknown at this time – I’ll update this section when I become aware.

The entire bullet train project has a total of 6 such packages – P1A, P1B, P1C, P2, P3, and P4. P1 is like P4 and consists of bridges strewn across the main-line’s alignment, while P2 and P3 are dedicated for bridges over NH48 in Navasari District.
