Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd announced it received a ₹2,481 crore Letter of Acceptance from MMRDA for designing, manufacturing, and commissioning rolling stock, signalling, telecommunication, and platform systems for Mumbai Metro Line 5. The contract also includes a seven-year maintenance period covering both phases of the metro corridor.

Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd has secured a landmark contract from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) valued at ₹2,481 crore for executing a comprehensive metro development package under the Mumbai Metro Line 5 project. The scope covers the full life cycle from design and manufacturing to integration, testing, and commissioning of multiple systems critical to metro operations.

The project spans both Phase 1 (Kapur Bawadi–Kasheli–Dhamankar Naka) and Phase 2 (Dhamankar Naka–Bhiwandi–Kalyan APMC), introducing next-generation communication-based train control (CBTC) technology and modern station safety systems.

Titagarh Rail will not only deliver the rolling stock but will also handle telecommunication networks, platform screen door systems, and depot machinery. This contract underscores its growing role as one of India’s leading metro rolling stock and systems integrators.

Key highlights:

Letter of Acceptance issued on October 31, 2025, by MMRDA.
The order value totals ₹2,481 crore inclusive of taxes and charges (except GST and customs duty).
Involves design, supply, installation, integration, and commissioning across all systems.
Execution timelines: Phase 1 to be completed within 108 weeks, and Phase 2 within 200 weeks, with GOA-4 commissioning in 217 weeks.
Includes five years of comprehensive maintenance after a two-year defect liability period.
Covers seven years of maintenance services starting from commissioning of the first phase.
Entirely domestic project focused on Mumbai’s expanding metro infrastructure.

This order significantly strengthens Titagarh’s metro presence, adding to its growing portfolio after recent wins from Kolkata and Pune Metro corporations. It also reflects increasing confidence among urban transit authorities in its Make-in-India capabilities for integrated rail system delivery. Mumbai Metro Line 5, when completed, will boost eastern suburb connectivity from Thane to Kalyan, easing traffic congestion and supporting the region’s mobility ambitions.
