16 Indian firms bid to develop bullet train's Sabarmati terminal hub: NHRCL Noor Arora
As many as 16 companies based in India have shown interest in the development of the multi-model Sabarmati terminal hub of the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project, NHRCL, the executing agency of the high-speed corridor, said on Thursday. This is the first tender for a station on the bullet train route. The Sabarmati terminal hub will act as originating point for those boarding the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train from Ahmedabad and as terminating point for those boarding the bullet train from the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai. It will be based on the theme of Mahatma Gandhi's famous Dandi March of 1930. The 16 agencies bought bid documents during a pre-bid meeting here, spokesperson of the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Ltd said (NHSRCL) Dhananjay Kumar said. All the companies are based in India, he said but did not disclose their names.
