Bombardier Transportation has won the rolling stock tender for the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System, the National Capital Regional Transport Corporation, the company said in an official statement. The ₹2,577 crore contract includes procurement as well as maintenance of the train sets. The air-conditioned RRTS trains will have economy as well as business class (one coach per train) and a coach reserved for women passengers. The entire rolling stock for the corridor will be manufactured in India, marking it a 100 per cent local manufacturing. The train sets will be manufactured by Bombardier at their Savli plant in Gujarat under the "Make in India" initiative of the central government. The RRTS train will be designed keeping in mind high acceleration and high deceleration that the train needs to undergo, given the maximum operational speed of 160 kmph, and stations at every 5-10 km. As per the terms, the delivery of the rolling stock will start in 2022. NCRTC, which comes under the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry, said that the broad scope of work includes design, manufacture, supply, testing, and commissioning of 30 train sets of six cars each for operating regional transit services and train sets of three cars each for operating the local Meerut transit services.
