Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-ChiefThe Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRC) has awarded Bombardier Transportation an order for 76 additional BOMBARDIER MOVIA metro cars. The contract is a follow-on to orders for 114 vehicles announced in mid-2010. Delivery will begin in the third quarter of 2012 and is expected to be completed in early 2013.
With the new order, DMRC will be operating a fleet of 614 MOVIA metro cars, said Bombardier. Around 460 MOVIA cars are already operating on Delhi’s metro network. During the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, the MOVIA metro trains were a cornerstone of the mobility plan successfully implemented by DMRC.
