Mumbai-Ahmedabad HSR develops casting yards at 25 zones

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail corridor (MAHSR) project is being executed by the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL). It has developed casting yards at 25 locations adjacent to the high-speed metro site.

From 25 casting yards, 17 are full-span casting yards, and eight are segmental casting yards. Each casting yard spread across 16-93 acres of land as required near the High-Speed Rail corridor.

As per NHSRCL, the total area of the casting yards is approximately 1,000 acres.

It has adopted a full-span launching method and segmental method. The full-span girders are more preferential than segmental girders since their erection is seven times faster.

Full-span girders are not feasible at some locations due to road crossings, pipelines, canals, rivers and curvature radii of less than 6,000 m. Therefore, NHSRCL uses segmental girders.

The full-span girder of 40 m is cast in one go, and segmental girders are cast in small pieces of lengths between 1.75-2.5 m. The small pieces are attached using prestressing cables to make 35-60 m spans.

NHSRCL has recently developed a casting yard in village Vaktana, Surat, on 22-acre land.

Anti-Dumping Duties Imposed on Solar Glass Imports from China, Vietnam

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has finalised anti-dumping duties on textured tempered solar glass imported from China and Vietnam, following an investigation that found these imports were causing material injury to India's domestic industry. The investigation revealed that solar glass from these countries was dumped at prices lower than domestic selling prices, leading to price suppression and preventing Indian manufacturers from adjusting prices in line with production costs. As a result, anti-dumping duties have been imposed at $658-$664 per metric ton (MT) for China and $570-$66..
