Siemens on Friday said it has secured two orders worth ₹773 crore for providing advanced signalling and telecommunication technologies for Nagpur Metro Rail from Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation.
The total time frame for project execution is about 42 months, a company statement said.
According to the statement, Siemens Ltd has received two separate orders from Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MAHA-METRO) aggregating to approximately ₹773 crore. The orders are for the design, manufacture, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a Communication-Based Train Control signalling technology for the Nagpur Metro Rail Project Phase 2 (with augmentation of Phase 1), and advanced telecommunication technologies for the same phase.
