Alstom, a global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, started producing its world-class Metropolis trainsets for Phase IV of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). Signed in November 2022, this deal plans to provide 52 train sets, each with six carriages.
The project is intended to serve three distinct DMRC lines: the new Gold Line 10, which connects Aerocity to Tughlakabad and spans 64.67 km, and two lines that are extensions of the current Lines 7 and 8. The production began with a commemorative event attended by representatives from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and Alstom India.
It is pertinent to note that the project's total value is €312 million, which also includes the maintenance of 13 trainsets of the new line for 15 years. This 360-degree scope is a game changer for India's metro segment as it will be the first maintenance project for Delhi Metro outsourced to an OEM.
The Line 8 extension will extend the Magenta Line from Janakpuri West to RK Ashram, while the Line 7 extension will connect the Pink Line between Maujpur and Mukundpur and improve DMRC connectivity another step above.
Alstom has also been awarded the contract for supplying and commissioning the train-control and signalling solution for Delhi MRTS Phase-IV Mukundpur - Maujpur (Line7 ext.) and Aerocity - Tughlakabad Corridor (Line 10). These lines will be equipped with Alstom's scalable Communications-undefined Train Control solutions (CBTC), which will operate with its Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) system.
These new trains are the most advanced state-of-the-art green vehicles, designed for a safe speed of 95 kmph and operational speed of 85 kmph, with GOA 4 driverless features, which makes them an environmentally friendly and comfortable metro solution for passengers of New Delhi.
Under the 'Make in India' initiative, these Metropolis trains have been completely designed in India and will be built at the manufacturing facility in Sri City (Andhra Pradesh). This is Alstom's largest Urban Rolling Stock manufacturing site in India, with a strong delivery portfolio for major domestic and international projects.
Over the years, Alstom has provided over 800 metro cars currently in use throughout the Delhi Metro system, one of Asia's largest rapid transit systems. Alstom has also partnered with DMRC for several other projects, including the successful implementation of the supply and commissioning of train control and signalling system for DMRC's Red Line (L1), (Yellow Line (L2), Green Line (L5), Violet Line (L6), Pink Line (L7) during Phase I, II & III.
