Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw Discusses Hydrogen-Powered Trains and Self-Reliance

In an exclusive interview with NewsStation, Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw spoke about the ongoing development of hydrogen-powered trains, highlighting the complexity and potential of this technology. Vaishnaw explained that hydrogen technology, with its versatility, could be applied not only to trains but also to ships and large vehicles. The government is working on developing a 1200-horsepower hydrogen-powered train, with significant progress made so far.

Surat-Bilimora Section of Gujarat Bullet Train Project to Start by June 2026, Says Pramod Sharma, Director Works, NHSRCL

Pramod Sharma, Director (Works) at the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), has announced that the Surat-Bilimora section of the Gujarat bullet train project is set to become operational by June 2026. This section, approximately 50 kilometers long, will be the first in India to operate at speeds of 320 km/h, a milestone for Indian railways.

Sharma emphasized that before passenger services commence, rigorous trial runs are essential to ensure safety and operational efficiency. "The trials are a critical step, and we are targeting June 2026 to begin operations on the Surat-Bilimora stretch," he said.

Talking about the project's current progress, Sharma shared that approximately 233 kilometers of the alignment work has already been completed. The foundation work is nearing completion, and significant progress is being made on garden reductions at a pace of 10 to 12 kilometers per month. "By December 2025, we aim to complete all alignment work across Gujarat," Sharma added.

The first milestone will be the operational launch of the 50-kilometer Surat-Bilimora section, followed by the extension towards Bilimora and Vapi. Sharma noted that once the initial 50 kilometers is operational, the aim is to extend it to 100 kilometers.

The Gujarat bullet train project is expected to be fully operational by August 2027. Following this, the focus will shift to Maharashtra for the next phase of the high-speed rail development.

Track Slab Factory in Surat Key to Bullet Train Project Progress

At the KIM village in Surat, a specialized track slab factory is playing a crucial role in the ongoing bullet train project. Hari Mohan Gupta, CMD of IRCON, provides insights into the progress of the project, particularly the 237 km stretch between Vapi and Vadodara, where significant track work is underway.

Gupta explains that the process involves multiple layers to create a robust track structure. First, concrete foundations are laid, followed by a concrete slab layer, and a chemical compound-based asphalt layer. Over this, specialized track slabs are placed, which are being manufactured on-site under strict supervision by the National High-Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) and the Japanese PMC.

The slabs, measuring 2.2 meters wide, 4.9 meters long, and 190 mm thick, each weigh around 4 tons. Gupta emphasizes that each slab undergoes meticulous inspection to ensure it meets precise tolerance levels. This attention to detail is crucial as the track is being designed to withstand speeds of up to 350 km/h, with an average speed of 320 km/h.

Gupta highlighted that these slabs are a vital component of the track's structure, ensuring smooth and safe operations for the future bullet train network.
