Alain Spohr, Managing Director, Alstom India and South Asia said, "We are delighted to be the partner of choice for the prestigious Mumbai Metro Line 3 project. By providing reliable, advanced and competitive transportation solutions, we are committed to support our customer in easing Mumbai's transport challenges. With the project stipulating 75% manufacturing in India, this contract has further reinforced our commitment to invest, grow and Make in India."

Mumbai Metropolitan Region is one of the fastest growing regions in India and Line 3 will be a game changer.

Alstom has also won the contract to supply power and telecommunications system for Mumbai metro Line 3 earlier this year.

Currently, Alstom is executing metro projects in several Indian cities including Chennai, Kochi and Lucknow where it is supplying Rolling Stock manufactured out its state of the art facility at Sri City in Andhra Pradesh.
