The nation saw rapid growth in metro operations with some key metro projects being Kochi, Jaipur, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Pune, Nagpur and Lucknow, while metro routes in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata got further expanded. The government is putting a lot of focus on indigenisation through the Atmanirbhar Bharat, Make in India and Vocal for Local programmes to push indigenous technologies and capabilities. This has led to many companies such as Bharat Earth Movers Limited and Alstom, among others, manufacturing metro coaches in India. There are several companies such as ABB and Mitsubishi Electric, which are manufacturing various metro components in India. Ample domestic capacity is also being developed for the construction of civil structures.
