Siemens Receives Order for Advanced Metro Propulsion Technologies for Pune Metro

Siemens has received an order from Titagarh Rail Systems for the supply of advanced propulsion systems and Train Control & Monitoring Systems (TCMS) for the Pune Metro Rail Project extension. The scope of work includes design, manufacture, supply and warranty of traction converters, auxiliary converters, traction motors and TCMS for 12 trainsets. According to Siemens, this collaboration is an important step in its journey to support India’s rapidly growing metro market with advanced Propulsion and TCMS technologies. As India continues to invest in sustainable urban transportation, the development of a strong local manufacturing and technology ecosystem becomes increasingly important. 

Pune Metro holds a special place for Titagarh Rail Systems as it marks its entry into the passenger rail systems space and the introduction of India’s first aluminum-bodied metro coaches. This additional option contract further strengthens the aluminum train ecosystem in the country. Together, this partnership will accelerate indigenization and serves as a great start to a long potential partnership for the Indian urban mobility landscape.
