Alstom won three new contracts valuated at EUR 75 million which involve metro systems in India. For Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation and Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Alstom was awarded two contracts for power supply and Chennai Metro Rail Corporation awarded a contract for the delivery of new metro trains. ‘This development shows Alstom’s growing footprint in the country, in both the urban space as well as the mainline space,’ Alstom says.
Alstom has supplied Chennai 42 metro trains composed of four cars each (168 cars) under a EUR 243 million contract signed in 2010, which included an option for 16 additional metro cars. For Alstom, this was the first metro rolling stock contract in India.
