DMRC to export Metro coaches to Australia for Queensland, Sydney Metros
DMRC achievs the milestone of manufacturing 90% of Delhi Metro coaches in the country​

The contract conditions of DMRC mandate a cap on upper limit of 25% for production abroad while the balance is to be necessarily manufactured in India either through tie-ups or a wholly-owned subsidiary. ​

New Delhi: Sustained indigenisation efforts have led to DMRC achieving the milestone of manufacturing 90% of Delhi Metro coaches in the country and it is now looking to export rakes to Queensland and Sydney Metros in Australia. “Sustained indigenisation initiatives taken by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) have resulted in 90% of Metro trains being manufactured in India,” according to a DMRC statement on Friday.

The initiatives have also boost establishment of ancillary units and helped generate employment. “Delhi Metro’s initiatives to indigenise manufacturing is in consonance with the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the central government and the establishment of three Metro coach manufacturing units in India to cater to the requirements of Metro market is a very positive development,” DMRC M.D. Mangu Singh said at a seminar in New Delhi.

DMRC officials said contract conditions mandating indigenisation have resulted in major coach manufacturing companies setting up production facilities in the country. The contract conditions of DMRC mandate a cap on upper limit of 25% for production abroad while the balance is to be necessarily manufactured in India either through tie-ups or a wholly-owned subsidiary. Manufacturing units set up to supply coaches to DMRC are now engaged in manufacturing of rakes that will be exported to Australia for Queensland and Sydney Metros, it said.

Three Metro coach manufacturing units have already been established in India. While Bombardier Transportation has a unit in Savli (Gujarat), state-owned Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) has a unit in Bengaluru and Alstom has established a new facility at Sricity near Chennai.

Besides manufacturing coaches, eighteen major sub systems of these coaches have also been indigenised. This has led to establishment of ancillary industry and skilled man power development in house. Window glasses, battery boxes, brake blocks, bogie frames, vacuum circuit breakers, propulsion among others are also being manufactured in India.

There are two types of rolling stocks - Broad Gauge and Standard Gauge - The Broad Gauge rolling stock is manufactured by two major suppliers - Bombardier (which has a manufacturing facility in India itself) and Hyundai/Mitsubishi consortium whereas the standard gauge rolling stock is manufactured by BEML at its factory in Bangalore. The rolling stock in question is the standard gauge one.

Both - moreover it depends on the contractor - L&T in Hyderabad is importing from Hyundai Rotem whereas Reliance in Mumbai imported from some Chinese company - Private contractors are independent to choose their suppliers.

Bombardier Transportation won the contract but the coaches will be made in India.DMRC has no expertise in manufacturing.

Why we bought Coaches from China in Mumbai Metro?

Because Reliance is a pathetic company.

 

[Abingdonboy]

wow....why did we buy metro coaches from Korea for Bangalore ?

Each individual Metro operates independently that is the reason. The Chennai metro is importing trains from Brazil.

 

[Jayanta]

Why we bought Coaches from China in Mumbai Metro?

Mumbai metro is a monorail...if I am not wrong.
