Delhi Metro Rail has awarded the signalling contract for the Silver Line to Alstom Transport India at a value of Rs 219.59 crore.
The 23.622 km Silver Line will connect Delhi Aerocity and Tughlakabad in South Delhi via 16 stations.
The under-construction underground line is part of the 65.1 km Delhi Metro Phase 4 project.
The contractor will have to design, manufacture, supply, install, test and commission the signalling and train control system.
The Aerocity-Tughalakabad corridor will be equipped with Alstom’s communications based train control (CBTC) system and run in conjunction with i-ATS (jointly developed by DMRC and BEL) in parallel with its automatic train supervision (ATS) system.
Alstom has also been awarded Silver Line’s rolling stock supply contract in October 2022 as part of a larger 312 metro car contract for Phase IV expansion.
As part of the order, the French major will design and manufacture 78 standard gauge metro cars for the Silver Line and will maintain them for 15 years.

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.
