Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), a company under the Administrative control of India’s Ministry of Railways, awarded the consortium of Siemens Limited India and Siemens Mobility GmbH a signalling and telecommunication contract for Kolkata Metro Line 3 and 6.
The consortium will deliver and install the CBTC solution that will facilitate 100% punctuality, maximum network capacity, energy savings and decreased headways while ensuring highest possible safety.
