”We want to participate in tenders for railways electrification and asked the Indian side for the conditions,” Alexander Misharin, first Vice-President of Russian Railways, announced, after a working visit to India, writes Russia & India Report.
Asked about the possibility of acquisition of Russian rolling stock by India, Misharin said that ” we demonstrated the technology and the type of rolling stock, which is produced at Russian enterprises, including «Transmashholding», «Transport Machines» and others.
Alexander Misharin told RIR that the two countries had agreed to establish a joint working group to explore prospects and projects for further cooperation between the two countries to develop the railways.
” We met with several companies, including the Indian Railways and the division which is engaged in the creation of new freight corridors and the organization of high-speed traffic. We agreed on the resumption of cooperation and the participation of Russian companies here in three areas: the creation of freight corridors, the modernization of infrastructure and increasing traffic capacity, including speed and security. We have agreed to establish a working group on the formation of these projects. I think that this proposal will be formalized in the near future,” Misharin said.
