NHSRCL managing director Achal Khare said: “This signing of MoU marks a very important milestone for the MAHSR project. This also symbolises strong teamwork and association, which I am sure will not be limited to the MAHSR project but may also continue for other future projects in other countries. NHSRCL will extend its full support to make this MoU a success.”

Japanese Ambassador Minister to India Shinzo Miyamoto said: “This MoU will strengthen the ties between India and Japan partnership and also give a boost to ‘Make in India’ initiative. This will also ensure the transfer of technology from the Japanese high-speed rail system to India.”

In a separate development, Indian Railways’ first centralised AC terminal, which is being built in Bengaluru, will soon commence operations.
