CMRL is seeking a consultant to manage the procurement of 28 new six-coach trains to boost Phase-1 capacity.
Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) plans to procure 28 new six-coach trains to increase capacity on the Phase-1 network due to growing passenger numbers.
The process of selecting a consultant for project management and train procurement is underway, with the tender process scheduled to open next month.
The selected consultant will assist in upgrading infrastructure across the 54-km Phase-1 route to accommodate the new coaches. Since the delivery of these trains is expected to take two years, the process has been initiated in advance.
