Overview
- GMRCL has ordered 10 trains from Titagarh Rail Systems, with nine to follow in phases over the next five to six months after the first unit’s certification.
- The stainless‑steel coaches are manufactured in India at Titagarh’s facility near Kolkata using domestic resources and modern production methods.
- Official statements say the trains include best‑in‑class fire protections and are capable of fully automated, driverless service under Grade of Automation 4.
- Ahmedabad Metro carries more than 160,000 passengers daily with 30–40 percent annual ridership growth, heightening the need for additional trains.
