The first order worth Rs 1,672.50 crore from the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) is for the supply of 150 metro coaches, including spares, for Phase I of the project by October 2010.

Additional orders for the Bangalore Metro in the coming months, depending on requirements, are expected to involve supply of 30 coaches for Rs 300 crore, and at a later point, a Rs 600-crore order for another 63 coaches.
