This is India's first-ever railway electrification project, utilising Japanese Shinkansen high-speed electrification technology and high-tech equipment, including change switches and a heavy compound catenary system.The Railway Strategic Business Group, an Indian division of the multinational corporation Larsen & Toubro (L&T), has been awarded the "mega order" to establish an electrification system for the nation's bullet train network.The agreement covers the design, production, supply, construction, testing, commissioning, and installation of a dual 25-kilovolt power supply electrification system, including traction substations, high-speed overhead equipment, and medium voltage/low voltage (MV/LV) power distribution equipment. The project will be completed on a lump sum, design-build basis.Once the electrification of the line is completed, trains will be able to travel an astounding 320 kph (200 mph).

Electrification Work to Begin on India’s First-Ever Bullet Train Line
The electrification of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train route, covering a distance of 508 kilometres (316 miles), will begin soon.
This is India's first-ever railway electrification project, utilising Japanese Shinkansen high-speed electrification technology and high-tech equipment, including change switches and a heavy compound catenary system.
The Railway Strategic Business Group, an Indian division of the multinational corporation Larsen & Toubro (L&T), has been awarded the "mega order" to establish an electrification system for the nation's bullet train network.
"This is the largest single railway electrification project order ever placed in India," said Rajeev Jyoti, advisor to the chairman and managing director for railways business.
“Our railways business is now in a unique position to leverage our strengths in design, procurement, and construction capabilities as well as our relationship with various Japanese stakeholders for successful execution. The experience & technology transfer from this project shall help L&T in developing credentials for such future High-Speed Rail projects in India and abroad,” Jyoti added.
The agreement covers the design, production, supply, construction, testing,
commissioning, and installation of a
dual 25-kilovolt power supply electrification system, including traction substations, high-speed overhead equipment, and medium voltage/low voltage (MV/LV) power distribution equipment. The project will be completed on a lump sum, design-build basis.
Once the electrification of the line is completed, trains will be able to travel an astounding 320 kph (200 mph).
