The Indian Railways has awarded a contract of Rs 2,211
crore to design and manufacture propulsion, control and other equipment
of 44 Vande Bharat-type train sets to Hyderabad-based Medha Servo Drives
Pvt Ltd, a Ministry spokesperson said on Friday.
"The Railways
has awarded the work of design and manufacture of propulsion, control
and other equipment to make 44 rakes (16 car each) of Vande Bharat-type
train sets," a Ministry tweet said.
It said that the project will be completed under the 'Make in India' policy with domestic content of 90 per cent.
In
August last year, the railways had cancelled the tender for the
manufacturing of 44 rakes of 'Train 18', re-christened as 'Vande Bharat
Express', after a Chinese joint venture company CRRC Pioneer Electric
(India) Private Limited became the only foreign bidder among six
contenders to manufacture semi-high speed trains. The Ministry again
floated the tender in September 2020.
According to Ministry
officials, the train sets will be manufactured at the Integral Coach
Factory in Tamil Nadu's Chennai, Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala in
Punjab, and the Modern Coach Factory in Raebareli in Uttar Pradesh.
The
Railways operates two Vande Bharat Express trains -- one from New Delhi
to Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and another from New Delhi to Katra in
Jammu and Kashmir.
