Approximately 89 percent of land required for Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project has been acquired by the Centre, Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Wednesday.
"The execution of Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail (MAHSR) has been delayed especially due to delay in land acquisition in the state of Maharashtra and consequent delays in finalisation of contracts as well as adverse impact of COVID-19," the minister said in his written reply to a question in Lok Sabha.

"Five villages in Palghar district in Maharashtra have passed the proposals in Gramsabhas...To oppose the land acquisition for the MAHSR project," he said.
These five villages are Warkhunti, Kallale, Man, Khaniwadi and Sakhare, he noted.
In Gujarat, 98.76 percent out of 954.28 hectares needed for the project has been acquired, Vaishnaw said.
