French mobility solutions provider Alstom has commenced manufacturing of rolling stock for Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line), Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation, at its facility in Sri City, Tada, Andhra Pradesh.
“The first metro train-set after testing will be delivered to Mumbai Metro by November 2020,” said Alain Spohr, Managing Director, Alstom India, and South Asia.
Alstom’s overall contract with Mumbai Metro for Line 3 is worth €452 million, he told newspersons at the factory.
A total of 248 metro cars will be delivered for Aqua Line in the Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ line.
When completed, the 33.5-km line will connect the Cuffe Parade business district in the extreme south of the city to SEEPZ in the north-central. The line in the standard gauge will have 26 underground stations and one at-grade station. The cost of this corridor is estimated at ₹30,000 crores, and Line 3 is expected to reduce road congestion, besides reducing the load on the Western Line between Bandra and Churchgate.
