Bharuch high-speed railway station

[6] In August 2021, Larsen and Toubro began construction on the station, after acquiring 12.9 hectares of land near Kunkarwada.

Its design has been made to accommodate sufficient space for passenger movement and amenities at the concourse and platform areas.

Moreover, skylight provisions will be present on the roof and exterior sides for natural lighting and reduced energy usage.

[9][8] When the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) began land acquisition for the station and the high-speed railway viaduct, they were met with protests from farmers in the region because of not only losing their land but also the fear of not getting sufficient compensation from NHSRCL, thus fearing them of losing their livelihoods as a whole.

The NHSRCL officials advised the land acquisition officer of Bharuch district to prepare a report on these topics and send it to the district revenue department for review to issue a final notice for the land acquisition to be undertaken.

Finally, NHSRCL, Indian Railways, the central and state governments reached a consensus on paying all farmers in the entire Gujarat section of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor not only a fair but a double compensation for their livelihoods to be sustained, and hence, the problem got resolved on time and did not lead to delay in land acquisition and execution of the project.
