The trains will run on particular tracks referred to as the “slab track system”, popularly often known as HSR expertise for development of tracks, patented by Japanese. Using designs procured from Japan, development is being completed by the Full Span Launching Method, one of many refined bridge development applied sciences on the earth. The NHSRCL has constructed 200-250 pillars per thirty days between Bilimora and Surat.
The longest (1.26 km) bridge below the challenge can be accomplished by July 2024. In Gujarat and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, 100 per cent of the civil contracts for the development of the complete 352km route have been awarded to Indian contractors.
