Titagarh Rail Systems Limited has rolled out the 1st driverless metro trainset manufactured in India for the Ahmedabad Metro project, marking a key milestone in the country’s urban rail manufacturing journey.
The trainset has been built for Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation at Titagarh’s Passenger Rail Systems facility in Uttarpara, West Bengal.
The rollout ceremony in Kolkata was attended by Bhupendrabhai Patel, who described the moment as a reflection of India’s progress in indigenous infrastructure development. He said, “Today is a moment of pride as the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat is being realised by Titagarh Rail Systems Limited.”
The Chief Minister highlighted the rapid expansion of India’s metro network, noting that metro corridors have grown from 248 km to over 1,013 km, significantly transforming urban mobility across the country.
The driverless metro trainset has been engineered and manufactured in India with 70–75% local content by value. The trains feature stainless steel car bodies designed to be lightweight, durable and corrosion-resistant, while also improving energy efficiency and sustainability.
The trainsets are equipped with advanced Train Control and Management Systems enabling fully driverless operations. Passenger-centric design elements include modern amenities, enhanced safety features, ergonomic interiors and dedicated spaces for Persons with Reduced Mobility.
The interiors are styled with a Garba-inspired theme, reflecting Ahmedabad’s cultural heritage.
