Ticket for Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train to cost Rs3000
An official of the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL) said on Thursday, the fare for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train would be around Rs 3,000.
Of the entire 1,380 hectares of land needed for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail passageway, normally referred to as the passenger train project, so far 622 hectares of land, which comes to around 45 per cent, has been nonheritable, the official said.
"Our land demand for this complete project is 1,380 hectares, which includes private, government, forest and railway land (in Gujarat and Maharashtra). So far, we've acquired 622 hectares (45 per cent).
We are moving ahead keeping in mind the point of December 2023," Achal Khare, Managing Director of the NHSRCL, which is executing the project, told reporters.
"Upon completion, the bullet train can build seventy visits, 35 on each side between 6 am till 12 am. The price ticket fare would be around Rs 3,000," he said. According to him, tenders had been issued for four major civil work packages on the route and also the construction work is probably going to begin by March 2020.
These packages include the construction of a 237-km long viaduct between Vapi and Vadodara and another package between Vadodara and Ahmedabad with a distance of 87kms, he said.
"We have divided the project into 27 packages. We have already issued tenders for four major civil work packages, as well as the undersea tunnel in Maharashtra. We hope that the work would start by March or April next year once the works are awarded to the agencies," said Khare.
The present estimates recommend that the value of the entire project would be Rs 1.08 lakh crore and makes an attempt are being created to complete the project by December 2023, Khare said. Commenting on the resentment among some farmers against land acquisition for the project, he said that farmers don't seem to be against giving their land.
"Out of the around 5,300 private plots we are supposed to acquire in Gujarat, we have already acquired around 2,600 plots. Gujarat farmers are not against the project
etc."
"Since 'jantri' rates (land rates mounted by the government) don't seem to be revised after 2011, they're demanding that these rates should be revised 1st before finalising the compensation.," he said.
He added that the problem has been largely resolved as out of the entire 198 affected villages, the difficulty currently persists in only fifteen villages. Khare exuded confidence that the project won't get delayed due to this issue. As a part of the endeavour to save lots of the atmosphere, the NHSRCL has also deployed specially-designed vehicles to transplant large trees standing on the route.
"So far, 4,000 large trees are saved by the manner of transplantation at another location," said a release by the NHSRCL. Civil work for Ahmedabad High-Speed train station has already begun at the prevailing train station within the town.
This new train station for the passenger train is designed over the prevailing railway lines on the Japanese aspect higher than platform no 10, 11 and 12. The bullet train corridor can have 12 stations across its 508km stretch between Ahmedabad and Bombay.
