Mumbai-Nagpur High-Speed Rail Corridor: Ground data was collected through the LiDAR survey
Mumbai-Nagpur High-Speed Rail Corridor: In order to conduct the ground survey for preparing the detailed project report (DPR) of the proposed Mumbai-Nagpur high-speed rail corridor, the light detection and ranging survey (LiDAR) was started on Friday, March 12, said the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL). This was done to capture data related to ground survey for the 736 km long Mumbai-Nagpur rail corridor, where an airplane fitted with aerial LiDAR and imagery sensors took the first flight. (
The National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited, entrusted with the task of implementing the bullet train project, is adopting the light detection and ranging survey technology as it provides all ground details and data in three-four months, whereas this process usually takes 10-12 months by traditional survey methods.

The indicative fares of the Delhi-Varanasi High Speed Corridor are ranging between 1.3 to 1.5 times of the Executive Class fares running in the sections
It would cost Rs 1,200 for Agra and Rs 3,400 for Varanasi from the national capital in the Delhi-Varanasi bullet train as the detailed project report (DPR) of the proposed high speed corridor has suggested.
The DPR prepared by the National High Speed Rail Corporation has kept the train fare for Lucknow at Rs 2,300 and Rs 2,900 for Ayodhya.
According to NHSRCL, the ground survey is a crucial activity for any linear infrastructure project as the survey provides accurate details of areas around the alignment. The technique uses a combination of laser data, GPS data, flight parameters, as well as actual photographs to provide accurate survey data.
The aerial LiDAR survey technique was adopted for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor due to its high accuracy, which was the very first time when the method was utilized for any railway project in the country. The data provided through the LiDAR technology can be useful for several projects including surface transport, roads, irrigation, landslides, canals, city planning, etc. In order to provide clear pictures of the structures, trees, and other minute ground details, 60-megapixel cameras are being used for the LiDAR survey.
