Alstom will provide train control and signalling system for
the new Bangalore metro network in India

Alstom will provide the design, manufacture, supply,
installing, testing and commissioning of the train control and
signalling system for line 1 and 2 of this new metro system. It
includes the Urbalis 200 Automatic Train Control system which
will ensure optimal safety, flexible operations and heightened
passenger comfort. This fully proven solution has been
successfully deployed in many cities in the world. In India,
Alstom has supplied the same solution to New Delhi metro line 1
and 2, and is currently delivering the extensions of these
lines.



Bangalore line 1 and 2 lines will enter into revenue services
in September 2012. The Bangalore Metro has been designed for a
capacity of 40,000 passenger per hour and per direction. The
number of passengers expected to travel on the metro network
everyday is estimated at 1 million, and could reach 1,6 million
in 2021.



This project will involve several Alstom units in Bangalore and
Coimbatore in India, Saint-Ouen and Villeurbanne in France, and
Bologna in Italy. This contract confirms Alstoms
commitment in India as the country embarks on its rail
expansion initiatives said Jojo Alexander, Managing
Director for India.
