The National High Speed Railway Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) on Friday invited bids for the construction of a 21-km long tunnel for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor.
The tunnel will be built between the underground station at Bandra-Kurla Complex and Shilphata in Thane district of Maharashtra, a spokesperson of the NHSRCL said.
The bids have been invited for the tunnelling work 21 km underground, including a 7-km long undersea tunnel to be built using Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) and New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM), he said.
The package is open to Japanese and Indian companies, the official added.
The total cost of Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor project is pegged at Rs 1.08 lakh crore.
As per the shareholding pattern, the Centre is to pay Rs 10,000 crore to the NHSRCL, while Gujarat and Maharashtra are to pay Rs 5,000 crore each. The rest is to be paid by Japan through a loan at 0.1 per cent interest.
At least 77.68 per cent, which is 1084.48 of 1,396 hectares of land, has been acquired for the bullet train corridor, the official said.
While 432.67 hectares are needed for this ambitious project in Maharashtra, presently only 143.06 hectares has been acquired, it was stated.
At least 97.71 per cent land acquisition in Gujarat and 100 per cent in Dadra Nagar Haveli has been completed for the project.
The NHSRCL has already invited bids for the construction of an underground station of the high-speed railway at the Bandra Kurla Complex.
According to NHSRCL officials, the last day for submission of bids for the construction of the station is December 7, but the Maharashtra government is yet to hand over the land at Bandra Kurla Complex.
