After the signing contracts for signalling, electrification and telecom solutions for the Kochi Metro, Alstom plans to double its business to EUR 800 million (about ₹5,700 crore) in India in the next three-four years.
“We plan to hire 200-250 engineers a year in India over the next three-four years. At present, we have 800 engineers in the country. Also, we are looking at doubling the order book in the next three to four years from EUR 400 million at present,” Henri Poupart-Lafarge, Presdient, Alstom Transport, told reporters during the UITP 2015 in Milan.
Alstom, which plans 80 per cent local sourcing for the Kochi Metro project from its plant in Chennai, is also involved in Metro rail projects in Delhi, Jaipur, Chennai and Bengaluru.
