Vadodara posed project’s biggest engineering challenge for NHSRCL
Vadodara: The National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL) will be saving at least Rs 2,000 crore with re-alignment in Vadodara alignment of the high-speed rail corridor.
Instead of the original plan of constructing the HSR station by dismantling the existing platform 6 of Vadodara railway station, the station will now come up at platform 7.
Vadodara posed the project’s biggest engineering challenge for NHSRCL.
“Apart from construction challenges, the overall cost has also gone down conservatively by Rs 2,000 crore. The earlier estimate was in the range of Rs 4,000 crore to Rs 4,500 crore,” said Achal Khare, managing director of NHSRCL.
