This tender notice took so long to come out due to an indifferent prior state government which took no interest in speeding up land acquisition that now stands at at least 92% of which NHSRCL has at least 71% in its possession.

With this development, all 8 civil tender notices are out of which 5 are under construction in Gujarat. A list of all bullet train civil and system packages and their status can be viewed here.
