Mumbai Monorail win for Ansaldo STS
Ansaldo STS to enter India’s rapidly expanding mass transit market.
Ansaldo STS has received several letters of award from Scomi Rail Bhd
to deliver the
signalling and control package for the Mumbai Monorail, the city’s first ever monorail system.
Scomi Rail Bhd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Scomi Engineering Bhd which, in consortium
with Larsen & Toubro Ltd., has been awarded the project to design, develop, construct,
commission and maintain Mumbai’s first monorail system.
The monorail will provide significant improvements for the thousands of commuters who travel
along
the 19km of heavily congested corridors of Maharaj Chowk to Wadala Depot and
Wadala Depot to Mahul each day.
Ansaldo STS will design, supply and commission the train control and signalling system for the
two corridors. There will be 18 stations along the line and a central connecting depot facility
which will be used for operation control and train maintenance.
The system Ansaldo STS will supply includes Automatic Train Protection (ATP), specialised
on-board and wayside technology that significantly enhances the safety of passengers.
This important contract win signals Ansaldo STS’s entry into India’s rapidly expanding mass
transit market. Ansaldo STS successfully delivered and installed the signalling system for
Malaysia’s first monorail – the KL Monorail in 2003, and has a significant share of the
signalling and control market in Malaysia’s and India’s railway sectors.
