President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has inaugurated the Bangalore Green Line metro connecting Nagasandra in North Bangalore with Yelachanahalli in the South. This is the last section of Bangalore Metro Phase 1.
Within the project, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) awarded Alstom a EUR 114 million contract for the design, manufacture, supply, installing, testing and commissioning of the train control and signalling & telecommunications systems that have been deployed by engineering and R&D team in Bangalore.
They equip two corridor lines (42 km, 41 stations) including two depots, one Operation Control Centre (OCC) and one Back up Operation Control Center (BCC). It includes the Urbalis 200 Automatic Train Control system which will ensure optimal safety, flexible operations and heightened passenger comfort. This solution has already been successfully deployed in many cities around the world and in cities like Delhi, Jaipur and already operational sections of Bangalore Metro.
