Currently, Alstom’s order portfolio in India amounts to €4.2 billion, nearly 5% of the company’s overall order volume.

Luazon believes that the Indian market will continue to grow, given the country’s active focus on developing railway transportation.

He noted that Alstom has already invested over €200 million in expanding its manufacturing capabilities in the country.

At present, more than 25% of Alstom’s engineering work is conducted in India, with plans to increase this share to 33%.

Alstom’s significant presence in India is attributed, in part, to its acquisition of Bombardier Transportation in 2021.

Currently, Alstom operates six manufacturing and five engineering centers in India.
