Afcons Infrastructure Limited completed Tunnel T49 on the Udhampur Srinagar Baramulla Rail Link, described as India's longest railway tunnel at 12.75 kilometres through the Pir Panjal ranges. The project involved a 7.6-kilometre package executed with the New Austrian Tunnelling Method, local hiring of 80 percent of the workforce and 10.6 million safe man-hours.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
We prioritised the excavation of adits, which provided four faces for main and escape tunnel excavation, allowing us to progress rapidly.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
Spanning an impressive 12.75 kilometres through the Pir Panjal ranges, Tunnel T49 is an engineering marvel that is set to revolutionise connectivity in the region.
