Delhi Metro on Tuesday denied reports that it had bought coaches from a Chinese company.
‘Delhi Metro has neither placed any order nor received any Metro coach from CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive as claimed by the reports,’ a Metro spokesman said.
Xinhua reported 26 October that CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive, a subsidiary of Chinese train manufacturer CSR Corp Ltd, has sold 21 cars to ‘New Delhi’s subway system’.
Xinhua said the sale marked the company’s second order from India. The company exported 15 metro cars to New Delhi in 2010.
The locomotive company had claimed the trains would be more energy-efficient and an industry model
in India which is hit by power shortages.
