Quoting a relevant post on coaches for the DMRC and the Mumbai Metro I thought should belong in this thread:


Rage said:
The issue is one of capacity, I believe. Bombardier and the Bombardier plant at Savli were expecting a further order for 100 coaches from the Delhi Metro Rail Corp. in 2009, in addition to the 424 coaches previously ordered by them, some of which will be manufactured at the plant in Savli. Bombardier expects to deliver 384 coaches before the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in Oct. 2010, and the balance of the 80 by mid-2011. In the meantime, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority officials have promised to have the first line of the MMRP : Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar; Colaba - Bandra – Charkop; Bandra - Kurla – Mankhurd, operational by December-2010, to which end they will need the rolling stock in the city by early 2010.

Given that Bombardier and its plant at Savli have their order books full with the DMRC and its proposed extensions (see below), China's CSR would be the logical other choice [cheap, cost effective and proximate].

As for the Mumbai Metro, work's goin' on in full swing. Throwing the city into a maze of chaos and traffic jams where work was progressing (as if we didn't have enuff already).

Interestingly, this is not the only tender for rail coaches for the MMRP sought; it is only the first for the first phase of the project. Here's affirmation to that:




The other two phases, to be completed in following years, have evinced interest from a consortium of 20 major companies, including Bombardier:

India’s first AC double-decker train coach rolls out​

Kapurthala: India's first air-conditioned double-decker coach on Tuesday rolled out of the Rail Coach Factory here for trials on Delhi-Mathura section. The coach is likely to be inspected by Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee and senior officers of Railway Board in Delhi on Wednesday, according to Railway sources. Banerjee had announced the introduction of AC double-decker trains in the last Rail Budget.


The new coach with pleasing green-yellow colour has all the features and the comforts of a Shatabdi coach. RCF general manager Pradeep Kumar said that the factory would start the manufacturing of the double-decker coaches after successful completion of oscillation trials. These futuristic high-speed, stainless steel AC coaches would be introduced to cater to the heavy rush of commuters in high density corridors offering AC travel at a low cost.

The first double-decker train would be running on rail tracks by the end of this year, said Kumar. A totally new coach shell design capable of running at a speed of 160 kmph was developed by RCF engineers in tandem with Research Design and Standard Organisation (RDSO) within just nine months.

In the new design, 128 passengers can be seated as compared to 78 passengers in Shatabdi chair cars, thus increasing the capacity by almost 70 percent.
