India: The six-car train will undergo static tests in a depot in March, and two trains will begin a four-month trial on the 18.8 km section of the Yellow Line in April.
The trial run will also allow the functioning of the automatic train operation system to be tested.
In May, deliveries will begin of trains manufactured by a joint venture between Titagarh Rail Systems and CRRC, which was set up in 2022. The site of the Indian company will assemble 34 trains to be used on the city’s three metro lines. The joint venture will release two vehicles per month.

The eight-train Yellow Line is scheduled to enter service in Q3 2024, one year later than planned. The delivery schedule has been disrupted by CRRC’s difficulties in setting up the JV in India and some other issues.
