06 July 2022 – Alstom, global
leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has been awarded the
contract by Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MPMRCL)
to deliver 156 Movia metro cars with 15 years of comprehensive

installation of latest generation of Communications Based Train
Control (CBTC) signalling system as well as train control and
telecommunication systems; each with seven years of comprehensive

Alstom is responsible for the design,
manufacture, supply, installation, test, and commissioning of 52

configuration each. 27 trainsets will be for Bhopal and 25

rolling stock manufacturing facility in Savli (Gujarat), these
ultramodern, light-weight trains will operate at a top speed of 80
km/h, across the 31 km line in Bhopal with 30 stations and the 31.5
km line in Indore with 29 stations. This is the second such
combined order in India for Alstom, after the Agra-Kanpur metro
projects.
“We are delighted to be awarded this significant
contract from MPMRCL and this collaboration will lay a strong
foundation for an efficient and sustainable mass transport system
for the cities of Bhopal & Indore. As India moves towards
its vision of using green and clean energy for public mobility,
Alstom takes pride in being its long-standing partner in this
journey and help write the country’s growth story. Following the
Agra-Kanpur metro project, winning this contract is a strong
validation of our commitment to deliver mobility solutions that
meet the specific requirements of our customers.” said
