Siemens will supply signaling technology for the first two metro lines of the Nagpur Metro Rail Project in India. The order, worth €40 million, comprises the delivery of Siemens’ Trainguard MT system that uses wireless Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) technology to enable automated train operation.
Overall, around 38 kilometers of the project’s double-track route, two depots and 23 three-car metro trains will be equipped with the system. The CBTC solution allows trains to operate at headways of 90 seconds or less.
The two new metro lines will help prevent a threatening traffic gridlock in the city, with over two million inhabitants and a growing population. The east-west corridor of the metro line will have 19 stations, and the north-south corridor will have 17 stations and connect with the city’s airport.
