VADODARA (Metro Rail News): The National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) has floated a tender for the civil construction of a new Platform No. 7 at the Vadodara (P) Indian Railways station, directly adjacent to the upcoming Vadodara Bullet Train Station.
This is not a routine platform upgrade. The original Platform 7 at Vadodara Junction was demolished as part of a revised HSR alignment design that saved approximately ₹2,000 crore from the project’s overall budget. Its replacement, this new Platform 7, is specifically engineered to integrate with the bullet train station being built directly above, allowing passengers to switch between Indian Railways trains and high-speed trains.

The Bigger Picture of Mumbai Ahmedabad Bullet Train Corridor
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail corridor is India’s first bullet train line that spans 508 km, connecting 12 stations. Vadodara is the ninth station on this corridor, and one of only two stops on the planned express “Rapid Train” service, alongside Surat.
The Vadodara HSR station is being built by Larsen & Toubro as part of Package C-5. The entire 352 km Gujarat section of the corridor covering eight HSR stations is targeted for completion by late 2026, and the Surat – Bilimora is going to be the first stretch to become operational. The tender for this new Platform 7 signals that NHSRCL is actively locking in the last pieces of the integration puzzle at Vadodara.
