Alstom has secured a €54 million contract to provide train-control and signaling systems for Delhi MRTS Phase-IV Mukundpur – Maujpur (Line7 ext.), and Aerocity – Tughlakabad Corridor (Line 10). Alstom will supply its communications-based train control (CBTC) solutions and automatic train supervision (ATS) system, which is expected to reduce energy consumption by up to 30%. The CBTC system can improve metro line capacity, efficiency, reliability, and safety while reducing operating costs for operators.
Alstom is a well-known leader in the mass transit market, with over 30 years of experience in radio CBTC technology. The company has been selected for 160 CBTC metro lines globally, and 18 metro lines in India are currently equipped with Alstom’s signalling solutions.
Alstom has a longstanding relationship with Delhi Metro, having previously delivered more than 800 metro cars that are currently in service for the Delhi Metro network. In November 2022, the company was awarded the contract to design, manufacture, supply, test, and commission 312 standard gauge metro cars for the Delhi Metro Phase IV expansion.
The Delhi Metro network currently consists of approximately 391 km with 286 stations, having expanded beyond the boundaries of Delhi to reach Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Bahadurgarh, and Ballabhgarh in Haryana.
