Alstom has secured a contract worth Rs 8.67 billion to design, manufacture, supply, install, test, and commission a fully automated communications-based train control signalling system for Bengaluru Metro's Phase 2 corridors. The Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL) awarded the contract, which also includes personnel training and a five-year annual maintenance agreement. To enhance passenger safety, full-height platform screen doors will be installed at all underground stations on the Reach 6 corridor and the airport-line terminal. Additionally, half-height platform screen gates will be installed at an at-grade station in the 2B corridor. This initiative marks the first deployment of such platform screen doors on the metro's corridors, offering benefits like significant energy savings and preventing unauthorised access. The project aims to serve three major corridors in the Bengaluru metropolitan region. These include linking the critical junction at Silk Board on Outer Ring Road (2A) to Kempegowda International Airport (2B) via KR Puram, and Reach 6, which will connect Bannerghatta Road to Nagavara with interchanges at MG Road, Jayadeva Hospital, and Nagavara. Alstom's technology will facilitate driverless operations along an 80.39 km combined line length, expected to reduce travel time by at least 50% and lower carbon emissions. Alstom?s rail cybersecurity solutions will address emerging cyber threats, ensuring robust system security. According to Money Control's report, Alstom will also implement its predictive maintenance tool, HealthHub, to enable real-time condition-based monitoring of trains, infrastructure, and signalling assets. This data-driven approach aims to minimise operational downtime, maximise system availability, and optimise lifecycle costs. Alstom?s Urbalis communications-based train control solution, known for its ?driverless technology?, will cover 50 stations and three depots. The Urbalis Vision platform will be installed at the integrated operation control centre in Baiyappanahalli, with a backup control centre at Peenya to manage and monitor train operations. This contract marks Alstom's third collaboration with BMRCL, following its provision of traction and power supply for the 33-km Phase 2 extension. Previously, Alstom supplied the U200 signalling and telecommunications solution for a 42-km track, completed in 2017.
