The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project has achieved a significant milestone with the excavation of a mountain tunnel in Palghar, Maharashtra, marking the third such achievement in the district within the last five months. This progress underscores the rapid construction pace in a geographically challenging section of the high-speed rail corridor.
