Kanpur: Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (UPMRC) is aiming trial run on the nine kilometre long Priority Corridor (between IIT and Motijheel) of the Kanpur Metro Project in November this year. UPMRC is leaving no stone unturned to ensure the arrival of the first Metro train set in the coming September.
Metro trains for the project are being manufactured in Savli in Gujarat with the state-of-the art technology and standards. For reviewing the progress of manufacturing, UPMRC’s MD Kumar Keshav and the Director, Operations Sushil Kumar visited the Savli Plant (near Vadodara) on Tuesday and observed that the trains are in the final stages of assembling and testing and are expected to reach Kanpur by the end of September.
On this occasion, Kumar Keshav said, “Kanpur Metro trains are being manufactured with the most advanced and state-of-the-art technologies. The safety and comfort aspects of the passengers have been kept paramount in the designing of these trains. We are strictly abiding the deadline that we have decided for the trial run on the Priority Corridor and we are moving ahead with full zeal and dedication.” Kanpur will get 8 Metro Trains for Priority Corridor. Total 39 trains of 3 Metro coaches each are to be supplied for both the corridors of the Kanpur Metro Project including Corridor-I – From IIT to Naubasta and the Corridor-II – From Chandra Shekhar Azad Agriculture University to Barra-8. Operations on the Priority Corridor will be executed with eight trains. These trains have been designed with assistance from Bombardier Germany and design experts at Bombardier’s Hyderabad office. These ‘Make in India’ Metro trains are equipped with Communication Based Train Control System (CBTC) for Automatic Train Operations. These ultramodern trains are having state of the art design for safe operation, energy efficiency and passenger comforts. These trains will also be equipped with CO2 sensor-based air-conditioning system to save energy during operations.
The final design work has already been completed by active chasing by UPMRC after series of interaction and meeting with Bombardier Germany and Bombardier India.
