The land acquisition for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (HSR) project in Thane district, Maharashtra, is likely to be completed within the next two months.
Thane district has several crucial infrastructure projects cutting through it, including the Mumbai-Vadodara national highway, dedicated railway freight corridor, Kalyan-Kasara additional lines and Samruddhi highway, among others.
The HSR project requires 79 ha of land in Thane district of which 51 ha has been acquired and the rest which is in Bhiwandi and Thane talukas in various stages of acquisition.
In 2020, the Thane Corporation had junked the transfer of a crucial part of land for constructing a tunnel on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad HSR route in Diva which was eventually cleared recently.
