NEW DELHI: The Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail project has reached 62.16% overall physical progress, according to an RTI response from the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL).
The response, reported in September 2026, said all 1,389.49 hectares required for the 508-km corridor had been acquired. More than 366 km of viaduct girders had also been erected.
Foundation work has been completed across nearly 460 km and piers across more than 455 km, showing that the project has moved substantially beyond the initial land and foundation stages.
Stations and structures progressing
Construction is continuing at stations and other major structures along the route. The corridor includes 12 stations and a major tunnel section in the Mumbai region.
The latest figures come as Japan has acknowledged that the project timeline has fallen behind its original expectations, while saying the work is now moving forward.
