Bullet Train: First Full Span Girder Launched in Maharashtra
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project is making progress in Maharashtra.
The first big concrete girder was put up in Palghar, marking a key step.
This allows faster building of the elevated tracks, similar to how it's done in Gujarat.
Many of these girders will be used in Maharashtra.
Stations are also under construction, along with tunnels and underground work.
This new method helps speed up the building process so the train line can be completed on time.
The project will improve travel by creating high-speed rail services.
