Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Power Infra Begins To Take Shape: Over 1,000 OHE Masts Covering 25 Km Of Viaduct Installed In Gujarat's Navsari

Overhead Equipment (OHE) masts are now rising along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train corridor in Navsari district, Gujarat, marking a key step in the electrification of India's first high-speed rail line.

These precision-engineered steel structures, essential for delivering power to trains running at 320 kmph, are part of a larger rollout of more than 20,000 masts planned across the entire corridor.

According to the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), over 1,000 OHE masts have already been installed, covering 25 km of the viaduct in the Navsari section.

Once completed, these masts will carry the high-tension catenary wires that will deliver electricity to the bullet train.

This development comes amid significant progress across the 508-km Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) corridor.

Over 304 km of viaduct and 388 km of pier work have been completed on project.

The project has also seen the completion of 15 river bridges, eight steel bridges, and five pre-stressed concrete (PSC) bridges.

Additionally, around 163 track km of track bed construction has been finalised.

Recently, the NHSRCL has successfully launched the first Full Span Pre-Stressed Concrete (PSC) Box Girder of 40 meters at Sakhare Village, Dahanu in the Maharashtra section of the the Bullet Train corridor.

The 508 Km Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR) project, also known as the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, will pass through the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli.

The project has 12 stations planned at Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Billimora, Surat, Bhaurach, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad and Sabarmati.
