Delhi Metro will have 76 more MOVIA Metro cards delivered from Bombardier [Oct 2011]

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRC) gave order to Bombardier Transportation for 76  additional BOMBARDIER MOVIA metro cars. The contract is valued at approximately 84 million euro ($120 million US). The delivery will commence in the third quarter of 2012 and is expected to end in early 2013.
With the new order DMRC will be operating a fleet of 614 MOVIA metro cars, one of the largest in the world. DMRC will be benefiting from economies of scale in both acquisition and maintenance costs. Around 460 of these MOVIA cars are already operating successfully on Delhi’s metro network. With more high-capacity MOVIA metro trains in operation, mobility in Delhi is improving on a weekly basis, with passengers getting their travel experience enhanced by less waiting time and more space inside the trains.
Stéphane Rambaud – Measson, President, Passengers division, Bombardier Transportation said, “We are delighted to receive this additional order to supply MOVIA vehicles in New Delhi. It is an excellent endorsement of our growing relationship in India. We intend to continue to contribute to the success of the Delhi Metro network by delivering more of our high performance MOVIA vehicles, meriting the trust that the DMRC management have placed in us.”
