Six of the 28 seismometers will be installed in earthquake-prone areas of Maharashtra and Gujarat, including Bhuj, while the rest will be installed along the bullet train alignment.
The National High-Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) announced plans to install 28 seismometers, including an "Early Earthquake Detection System," along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor.
