A Chinese firm is building a metro line in India's Mumbai, the first such line in the city that runs

[PashtunBradar]

Mumbai doesn't have the required space for construction of elevated metro hence underground

Your fault

 

[LASER1]

But but but but butttttttttttt i thought indian way way way way ahead technological from China

Don't have an orgasm over it, it's a subcontract.

or Delhi Metro's Yellow and Blue line which are operational since 2004

Metro is convenient for people living in metropolis, almost fastest and cheapest.

It's kind of like an insult of Indians to give contract to a Chinese firm. Indians invented spaceship in vedic times thousand of years ago. This train line is peasants compared to it. India is capable to build Space elevator & colony on Mars. I really hope that modi ji takes action against whoever did this blunder of awarding a contract to Chinese for construction of peasant train line. This is outrageous. Suppa pawwa by 2020.

May be they are lowest bidder .

Not necessarily, China is the world's largest rail transit manufacturer.
But you can be sure - India has no choice.

First subway is Mumbai?? That's news to me, China has dozens of cities operating subway systems, I thought Mumbai is a big city in India. Can't imagine this city's gonna have the subway later than China's far western border town Urumqi...

@Babulal I'm glad to see that India has the first metro, though it is lagging behind Xinjiang. But this is a big progress in India.

Sure you haven't heard about Calcutta metro?

Yes! I know Calcutta Metro! Made in China!

tunnels are way expensive than over bridges. Looks like Mumbai has no space to build elevated metro.

You can try to buy the Xinjiang tunnel boring machine（TBM）, it can reduce the cost.

made in Xinjiang

@Babulal do you know what is TBM?

Nope. Wrong. It was mostly made in India. This service started in '80s long before China started manufacturing.
Only recently some chinese rakes were added.

 

[Tom99]

in all other metros cities indian companies made all metro lines . why chinese in mumbai?

Better quality, better relative price. Better chance of getting jobs done right, on money and on time.

WOW... Made in India? Does it start in 80s?
But it still lags behind North Korea for 20 years. In 60s, China helped the NK to build the first subway.

I care very much. It's about our money.
