The National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) on Thursday said that it has invited bids for the construction of Sabarmati Rolling stock depot for 508 km Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR) project, popularly known as Bullet Train project.

NHSRCL spokesperson Sushma Gaur said that it has invited bids for design, construction, installation, testing and commissioning of Sabarmati Depot consisting of workshop, inspection sheds, various buildings, maintenance facilities and associated works.

Gaur said that the last date for submitting bids is December 2, 2021.

"The Bidding Documents will be available for sale at NHSRCL's office from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all the working days from Augist 4 to December 1.

She said that Sabarmati maintenance depot will be the largest depot among three depots planned for MAHSR corridor.

Other depots will be at Surat (Gujarat) and Thane (Maharashtra).
