By GlobalDataNHSRCL expects more than 1,000 people to be trained and certified for work on the MAHSR corridor project.
Most of the training will take place in India while 60 days of training on Enclosed Arc (EA) welding is envisaged in Japan.
NHSRCL said: “This initiative will help in ‘Transfer of Technology’ and also upgrade the skill sets of Indian track engineers. This is also a step towards making India self-reliant in the field of construction of tracks for high-speed rail.”
Last month, NHSRCL signed an MoU with JRTC for the designs of high-speed rail (HSR) track works for the T2 package of the MAHSR corridor project. The package runs 237km between Vadodara to Vapi, Gujarat.
