L&T Wins Big in Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project

Larsen & Toubro (L&T), one of India’s top infrastructure and engineering companies, has won a major contract in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) project. Commonly known as the bullet train project, this development is a big step forward for India’s transportation system. 

What Does the Contract Involve?

L&T's Transportation Infrastructure division received the order from the National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL). The company will be responsible for the design, supply, construction, testing, and commissioning of 156 kilometres of high-speed, ballastless track.

The work includes:

• 21 km of underground track
• 135 km of track on elevated viaducts
• The track stretches from Mumbai (Bandra-Kurla Complex) to Zaroli village in Gujarat

Advanced Japanese Technology

The project will use Japanese Shinkansen J Slab Track Technology. This technology is known for:

• Supporting train speeds up to 320 km/h
• Offering a smooth ride experience
• Having a longer lifespan
• Being easy to maintain

L&T’s Growing Role in the Bullet Train Project

This is not L&T’s first contract for the MAHSR project. In April 2022, it had already won Package T3, a 116 km stretch from south of Vadodara to Sabarmati depot.

With the new Package T1, L&T now handles more than 50% of all track work for the bullet train. This makes the company a key player in this mega project.

L&T has become a leader in ballastless track technology. The company has expertise in various modern track systems, such as:

• Plinth Track
• Slab Track
• Low Vibration Track
