Committed to Partner India’s Infrastructure Growth
Efficient transportation for sustainable urban development
Traffic jams and air pollution due to CO2 emissions of cars are two challenges caused by rapid urbanization and
increasing mobility needs. Eco-friendly public transportation systems like metro trains and suburban railways
contribute to sustainable development of cities.
Traffic management: Reduced travel time and fuel consumption
An efficient infrastructure for urban mobility is essential for maintaining and improving the quality of life within
cities and ensuring sustainable development. As a supplier of innovative mobility solutions, Siemens integrates
urban transportation carriers in an efficient, safe and eco-friendly way. We offer intelligent operation control and
traffic management systems for traffic lights, roads, railways, light rails, metro trains, automated guided transport
vehicles, and commuter and regional trains, as well as for toll, parking, tunnel, and signal and electrification
systems.
Thanks to an intelligent traffic management system from Siemens, commuters in Delhi traveling from Ambedkar
Nagar and Delhi Gate to the city center will enjoy a smoother ride along the 14.5-kilometer road. To ease travel
time, Siemens is installing an intelligent transportation management system that will continuously monitor the
traffic situation and direct over 600 traffic signals to function according to the flow of traffic. By keeping the traffic
moving, the system will help reduce fuel consumption and air pollution.
Energy savings in Mumbai’s public transportation
Mumbai’s suburban trains carry over 7.1 million passengers daily. With up to 16 people per square meter, these
trains have the highest passenger density in the world. Mobility technology from Siemens improves commuters’
comfort. The trains now reach a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour, compared to the previous 80 kilometers
per hour, saving commuters up to 20 minutes a day each way. In addition, the economical propulsion system
from Siemens reduces annual energy costs by 5 million rupees (roughly €80,000) per train.

Modern metro trains for safer mobility
In Kolkata, Siemens is developing a railway electrification system for the city’s new metro line. The order for this
public transport project includes project management, design, installation and commissioning work, as well as
personnel training and maintenance. The new east-west line will have a total length of 14.67 kilometers and will
serve about 480,000 passengers daily.
Another metro train project is being implemented in Delhi. To connect the new suburb of Gurgaon to the railway
network of the greater Delhi area, Siemens is building a 6.1-kilometer metro line. Siemens will supply five metro
trains, as well as advanced signaling and automatic train control systems. With shorter headways, up to 30,000
passengers per hour can be transported. Additionally, passengers to New Delhi International Airport are already
enjoying smooth and rapid transportation thanks to a 22.7-kilometer, high-speed metro train from the New Delhi
Railway Station. For this project, Siemens delivered turnkey mobility solutions for railway electrification, one-stop
signaling systems, train control systems and baggage handling systems. Once at the airport, travelers can check in
at one of the city’s two terminal stations, while their luggage is taken directly from metro train and merged with
the airport’s baggage-handling system.
Baggage handling system at Bangalore Airport: Siemens also won India’s largest cargo handling system contract
for Delhi’s airport. The solution includes an automatic storage and retrieval system, cargo workstation, pallet and
container storage, and handling system.
High-speed baggage handling and transportation:The new state-of-the-art integrated terminal of Indira Gandhi
International Airport (IGIA) in New Delhi’s urban infrastructure is one of the largest in the world. With a capacity
to handle 34 million passengers per year, the terminal has a completely automated baggage handling system that
can handle 12,500 bags in an hour to deal with such traffic. It can even be further extended to take care of 40
million passengers per year. Siemens was involved right from design to installation; implementation of the system
and testing of all the components. The company has ensured that all components operate perfectly together to
satisfy the needs of passengers, airport personnel and increasing mobility – reducing baggage transportation
times to less than 15 minutes from one check-in area to another.
