Marking a significant achievement for the Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi's flagship 'Make in India' programme, Australia's Sydney Metro has started running Indian-made fully automated and driverless trains, reports Business Today.
Sydney recently opened its first driver-less metro line which will be served by 22 such trains of six coaches each developed and manufactured by Alstom at its Sri City facility in Andhra Pradesh.
A point to be noted is that the trains exported from Andhra Pradesh based facility are equipped with the Urbalis 400 signalling system which minimizes the halt time at the stations as well as the time between multiple services. The coaches were integrated with the Urbalis 400 systems by Alstom's Bengaluru based engineering hub.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
