Rolling Stock Delhi Metro

The first wave of rolling stock was manufactured by a consortium comprising Hyundai Rotem,
Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
Initial sets were built by ROTEM in South Korea, with later examples completed in India by public
sector undertaking Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML).
BEML is also responsible for the manufacturing coaches under technology transfer agreement.
The manufacturing is under progress.
The air-conditioned trains consist of four 3.2m-wide, stainless steel, lightweight, although eight is
possible. The trains have automatic doors, secondary air suspension and brakes controlled by
microprocessor.
Delhi Metro has a fleet of 280 coaches, which DMRC runs as 210 trains every day.
Each train can accommodate about 2,290 people, 240 seated. Maximum speed is 80km/h
(50mph), with a 20-second dwell time at stations. Train depots are located at Khyber Pass,
Najafgarh, Shastri Park and Yamuna Bank.
In May 2011, BEML received a contract worth Rs9.2bn ($205m) from DMRC to supply 136
intermediate metro cars. The delivery is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
In March 2008 Bombardier Transportation announced an 87m ($137m) contract for 84 MOVIA
metro cars, a follow-on to an order for 340 placed in July 2007. The new vehicles were deployed
as part of the Phase II expansion.
In September 2011, Bombardier received a $120m order for 76 additional MOVIA metro cars.
This was a follow-on contract to an order placed for 114 vehicles in the middle of 2010. Deliveries
under the new order were completed in 2012.
DMRC received the first MOVIA metro car from Germany in February 2009. The first 36 vehicles
were manufactured in Goerlitz, Germany, and the remaining 388 cars were built at Bombardier's
Indian manufacturing facility in Savli, South Gujarat.
In October 2012, Bombardier delivered the 600th MOVIA metro car to the DMRC.

Rolling Stock Chennai Metro
Interest in supplying electric multiple units is likely from international manufacturers such as
Bombardier, Siemens, Rotem, Alstom or Mitsubishi, with a probable demand for a degree of
domestic content in materials and production.
"The start of metro services is now envisaged to be in financial year 201415."
Beyond reference to the Delhi Metro stock, CMRL is yet to detail rolling stock requirements
beyond four and six-car sets with dimensions of driver motor cars at 21.64m, motor/trailer cars at
21.34m, with a 2.9m width. On Corridor 2, 'Koyambedu Depot-cum-Workshop' is designated as
the primary maintenance facility, with a second at Minambakkam on Corridor 1 for stabling and
inspections.

Delhi Airport Express Rail Link
The airport express rail link will be serviced by a fleet of six trains supplied by Construcciones y
Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles. As of April 2011, only four trains were in operation.
The trains consist of six cars designed to operate at a top speed of 135km/h at 25kV DC power.
The transport authority has however given permission to operate at a maximum of105km/h.
Half of the space in each coach contains luggage racks and is reserved for baggage.

Hyderabad Metro
Hyundai Rotem is the rolling stock contractor for the project.

Jaipur Metro
Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) was awarded a INR3.18bn ($57m) contract in December
2011 to deliver ten four-car train-sets for the Phase 1 of Jaipur Metro.
The first train-set was rolled out at BEML's factory in Bangalore in April 2013. It is the first
indigenously designed and manufactured electric multiple unit by an Indian company.
The electric multiple units of BEML are offered in two configurations including driving trailer (DT)
car and motor (M) car.
A four car train composition includes two DT cars and two M cars. The DT car can carry 361
passengers, while an M car can accommodate 392 personnel.
Each train, using the supply voltage of 25kV AC Single Phase 50Hz, can run at a maximum
operating speed of 80km/h.

Mumbai Metro
RIIL consulted major rolling stock builders to provide the new train fleet for Mumbai Metro.
Kawasaki (Japan), Alstom (France), Siemens (Germany) and Bombardier were on the list of
suppliers considered for the project.
"The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) planned the Mumbai Metro
to be a 146.5km rail-based mass rapid transit system."
Nanjing SR Puzhen Rail Transport (NPRT) was chosen as the supplier. NPRT is a joint venture
between CSR Nanjing Puzhen Rolling Stock, Midas, Sanpower Group, the Nanjing New and High
Tech Development Zone General Company and Capital Operation.
A fleet of 18 locomotives will be delivered as per a contract signed in May 2008. The trains will be
supplied as part of a INR6bn ($133.8m) contract. These will be the first domestically produced
Chinese trains delivered to India.
For passenger comfort, the trains will feature air-conditioning and the aim is to develop trains
capable of carrying up to 1,500 passengers in a four-car unit. With the input of the Delhi Metro
Corporation and Hong Kong MRT, the new trains are likely to follow similar standards to those
already in operation in those major cities.
Onboard power supply, control and data cables for the rolling stock of phase I will be installed by
a French company Nexans under a subcontract from NPRT.
ContiTech Railway Engineering will provide its state-of-the-art primary and secondary air
suspension systems for the entire rolling stock fleet.

Namma Metro, Banglore
The specification for rolling stock is based on stainless steel-bodied three-car formations, a trailer
between two motored driving units. Internal wide gangways will provide ease of passenger
movement and assist load distribution. Trains will be air-conditioned throughout with designated
space for disability access. Although with many automated functions, trains will be under driver
control.
Capacity per train will be approximately 1,000 through longitudinal seating, giving a high
proportion of the floor area to standing passengers.
Maximum speed will be 80km/m (50mph). From an initial shortlist also including Bombardier and
Siemens, Alstom Projects India Ltd and Indian company BEML in a consortium with Mitsubishi
and Rotem became the finalists in the competition to supply the Phase 1 fleet is of 39 units, the
contract for which will also include a training element.
