Chinese firm to manufacture 216 Bengaluru metro coaches
The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) has accepted China-based CRRC’s request to manufacture a total of 216 metro train coaches in partnership with Titagarh Wagons in Kolkata.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on Friday puts an end to the uncertainty over the supply of coaches that is behind schedule at least by two years. The BMRCL, however, declined the CRRC’s request to increase the price.
Confirming the development, Anjum Parwez, Managing Director, BMRCL, said the MoU had been signed and added that the project cost would remain the same.
