The order, worth €312 million, includes design and manufacturing of 234 standard gauge metro cars for the Line 7 extension (Pink Line 12.558 km) on the Mukundpur-Maujpur corridor and the Line 8 extension (Magenta Line 28.92 km) for the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram corridor.

The company will design and manufacture of 78 standard gauge metro cars for the 23.622 km Silver Line between Aerocity and Tughlakabad, including 15-year maintenance of these cars.

Faced with the realities of climate change, such megacities need reliable and sustainable public transport solutions. Alstom is pleased to continue the partnership with Delhi Metro. Our trains have a high recyclability of all materials and low-weight design to reduce energy consumption that will greatly contribute to minimising environmental impact in the region.”
