Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation has won a contract to supply
162 BOMBARDIER MOVIA metro cars to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRC). The
new trains will increase the number of DMRC's existing fleet of MOVIA metros
from 614 to 776 and make it one of the largest metro fleets in the world. The
order is valued at approximately 15 billion Indian Rupees (204 million euro,
228 million US), and delivery will begin in the third quarter of 2016 and is
expected to end in early 2018.
Harsh Dhingra, Chief Country Representative, India, Bombardier Transportation
said, "We are pleased to have received this new order for another 162 MOVIA
vehicles for New Delhi. It is an excellent endorsement of our growing
relationship with Delhi Metro who has already awarded us around $1.2 billion USD
worth of rolling stock and signalling contracts. These additional trains will be
delivered from our state-of-the-art manufacturing sites in Vadodara that are
equipped to support metro rail operations across India."
The modern, high-capacity MOVIA metro vehicles integrate some of the world's
most advanced mobility technologies such as the BOMBARDIER MITRAC propulsion and
control system and the BOMBARDIER FLEXX Metro 3000 bogies, an extremely robust
and reliable design specifically adapted to suit Delhi's existing
infrastructure. In its six-car configuration, these new vehicles will
accommodate 1740 passengers and once configured into eight-car sets, will carry
as many as 2,400 passengers providing a much needed capacity increase on two of
Delhi's main metro lines.
The high degree of localisation executed in the project at both Savli and Maneja
sites is in line with the Indian government's 'Make in India' campaign that
encourages local manufacturing. Bombardier is also Delhi Metro's largest
signalling solutions contractor with over 120 km of line in operation or in
progress for Delhi Metro's Line 5, 6 and 7.
After more than five decades of investing in India, Bombardier Transportation
employs around 1,100 people in India. It operates a railway vehicle
manufacturing site and bogie assembly hall at Savli near Vadodara, Gujarat. This
is in addition to a propulsion systems manufacturing facility at Maneja, a Rail
Control Solutions centre near Gurgaon, Delhi NCR and an engineering centre in
Hyderabad that serves key projects worldwide.
