The French multinational Alstom has recently won a contract worth around EUR 315 million to supply 248 wagons for Line 3 from Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) recently. The Mumbai Metro Line 3 is a 33.5-km long underground stretch connecting the busiest and congested regions in Mumbai - one of the fastest growing cities in India. The line will connect Cuffe Parade business district in the extreme south of the city to SEEPZ in the north-central with 26 underground and one street-level station. Line 3 will not only be the first underground metro line in Mumbai but will be one of the biggest underground continuous stretches in India as well. This contract envisages design, delivery and commissioning of 31 lightweight, fully-furnished modern passenger train sets of eight cars each. Alstom will be responsible for training of operating and maintenance staff for Mumbai Metro Line-3 system as well. It is also for the first time that the metro cars will have 75% motorization, as stipulated in the Ministry of Urban Development's guidelines, enabling quick acceleration and deceleration thereby bringing about greater efficiency in operations, said an official spokesperson of the company.
