Titagarh to supply coaches, signalling and telecom systems for Mumbai Metro Line 5

Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd (TRSL) on Friday (October 31) said it has secured a Rs 2,481 crore contract from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) for the design, manufacture, supply and commissioning of 132 metro coaches and associated systems for Mumbai Metro Line 5.

The contract also covers signalling for 24.9 kilometres of track, telecommunication systems across 16 stations, platform screen doors, depot machinery, and five years of comprehensive maintenance, the company said in a statement.

The project includes both Phase 1 (Kapur Bawdi–Kasheli–Dhamankar Naka) and Phase 2 (Dhamankar Naka–Bhiwandi–Kalyan APMC) of the Line 5 corridor.

This marks Titagarh Rail Systems’ second major order for Mumbai Metro, following its earlier assignment for Line 6.

“This milestone demonstrates Titagarh’s growing expertise in delivering end-to-end metro solutions,” said Vice Chairman and Managing Director Umesh Chowdhary.

Manufacturing will take place at TRSL’s Passenger Rail Systems facility in Uttarpara near Kolkata.
