The National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL) has announced that it will prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for the Mumbai-Pune-Hyderabad high-speed railway corridor project. The high-speed rail corridor project is expected to reduce travel time by 50 per cent. NHSRCL has floated a tender seeking a consultant to prepare a DPR on the 711-km corridor. The project report prepared by the consultant will include a survey of overhead, overground, and underground utilities. It will also have to survey power sources for setting up a substation for the project.
As of now, the NHSRCL is working on six high-speed rail networks across the country, including the 507-km-long Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train. The other high-speed rail corridors include Delhi-Varanasi (865 km), Mumbai-Nagpur (753 km), Delhi-Ahmedabad (886 km), Chennai-Mysore (435 km), Delhi-Amritsar (459 km), Mumbai-Hyderabad (711 km), and Varanasi-Howrah (760 km), add reports
