This is the second track-work package that L&T has won in MAHSR. In April 2022, NHSRCL had awarded the Package T3 (116 km) from south of Vadodara city to Sabarmati depot to L&T and the project is progressing rapidly. With the latest order, L&T is now responsible for over 50% of the track-works in MAHSR.

Japanese Shinkansen J Slab Track Technology is being adopted for the track-works, enabling up to 320 kmph speed, better ride quality, increased service life and maintainability.

Commenting on the latest order win, Mr S V Desai, Whole-time Director & Sr EVP (Civil Infrastructure), L&T said: “Our success in T3 package involved rapid technology absorption, indigenisation of plant & machinery and value engineering. This has been a key factor in our approach to this new order, and we are confident of delivering on time”.

L&T is India’s leading player in the ballastless track technology, with expertise across various types of track systems – Plinth Track, Slab Track, Low Vibration Track, Floating Slab Track and Pre-cast Slab Track. L&T is currently executing ballastless track projects in multiple metros in India and abroad including Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai and Jakarta.
