Titagarh Rolls Out 1st Driverless Metro Trainset for Ahmedabad Metro
Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd. has rolled out its first driverless Made in India trainset for Ahmedabad Metro. The trainset features over 70-75% local content and will operate on the Yellow and Violet lines. The Hon'ble Chief Minister of Gujarat attended the rollout event.
The rollout of the first trainset for a metro project is a significant milestone and demonstrates the company's manufacturing capabilities. While positive, it is part of an ongoing project rather than a sudden, large financial event, hence a medium impact.
The announcement details the successful rollout of a key product, highlighting 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiatives, and positive engagement from a state chief minister, all of which are positive indicators for the company.
Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd. has rolled out its first driverless Made in India trainset for Ahmedabad to the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC). The trainset was delivered from the company's facility in Uttarpara, West Bengal.
Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat, attended the event and lauded the achievement as a realization of the Prime Minister's vision of 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'. He highlighted the significant expansion of metro networks in India under the Prime Minister's leadership.
Mr. Umesh Chowdhary, VC & MD of Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd., stated that the trainsets contain over 70-75% local content, showcasing India's indigenous manufacturing capabilities. He emphasized the company's commitment to making India a global hub for railway manufacturing.
The trainsets are constructed with stainless steel car bodies for durability and energy efficiency. They will operate on the Yellow Line corridor of the Ahmedabad Metro, connecting Narendra Modi stadium to Mahatma Mandir, and a branch of the Violet Line to GIFT City, covering a total of 28.26 km across 22 elevated stations.
Equipped with the latest Train Control and Management System for driverless operations, the trainsets prioritize passenger comfort and safety, featuring inclusive design elements for Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRM) and interiors inspired by Ahmedabad's Garba theme.
The Chief Minister also toured the plant, acknowledging the importance of scale and speed in manufacturing and noting Titagarh's facilities for building Vande Bharat trains. Future expansion plans, including high-speed train manufacturing capabilities, were presented by Sri Umesh Chowdhary.
