Titagarh Rail Systems and ABB India Ink Agreement to Deliver Propulsion for 25kV Metro

Titagarh Rail Systems Limited (TRSL) and ABB India Limited have entered into a strategic agreement to jointly develop propulsion systems and enable technology transfer for 25kV driverless metro projects in India, strengthening indigenous manufacturing under the government’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. 

Strategic Expansion of Metro Propulsion Capabilities 

Under the agreement, ABB India will support the design, manufacturing, supply, testing, installation supervision and commissioning of propulsion systems, along with the transfer of Train Control and Monitoring System (TCMS) technology for 25kV AC metro applications, which is upgradeable from GoA2 to GoA4.  

The partnership also includes a gradual transfer of manufacturing and co-production of traction motors, traction converters and auxiliary converters. 

The collaboration will support Titagarh’s execution of its contract to deliver 240 metro coaches for Mumbai Metro Lines 5 and 6 awarded by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).  

The scope includes 132 cars for Line 5 and 108 cars for Line 6, covering a total corridor length of over 40 km, along with five years of maintenance following a two-year defect liability period. 

Technology Transfer and Manufacturing Integration 

This agreement builds upon the strategic alliance announced in November 2023, under which Titagarh had acquired TCMS technology for 750V metro systems.  

The latest pact enables Titagarh to complete its TCMS portfolio for both traction systems used across Indian metro networks. Titagarh has already set up its own TCMS laboratory at its Bengaluru design centre and is producing traction motors for locomotives and EMUs.  

With this agreement, the company will progressively co-produce metro propulsion systems, enhancing localisation and backward integration across high-precision railway technologies.
