The AFC systems for Delhi Metro will be produced at Aurionpro’s Ghaziabad facility in India. This initiative supports the “Make in India” program, promoting local production and technological innovation.

Aurionpro Solutions’ Innovation Head Sanjay Bali emphasized the importance of partnering with DMRC. He stated that this project reinforces DMRC’s leadership in urban transit solutions across India.

The company will deliver robust gates, validators, and card readers developed and manufactured in India. This contract strengthens Aurionpro’s market presence in India and boosts its global reputation.

Technological Advancements and Benefits for Delhi Metro

Aurionpro’s recent success in Chennai and the new Delhi project highlight its growing influence. This agreement underscores Aurionpro’s commitment to expanding its role in smart transportation technologies.

In 2023, DMRC won a tender to construct the first phase of Bahrain’s metro system. The plan includes a 30-kilometer network with 20 stations to enhance urban transportation.

BEML will manufacture and supply rolling stock for the Bahrain metro project under this agreement. The prequalification stage approval paves the way for further opportunities and infrastructure growth.

In 2021, DMRC introduced software to monitor construction progress for new metro corridors. This digital platform, developed by Indian engineers, improves efficiency in managing metro projects.

Implementing modern technologies demonstrates DMRC’s focus on innovation and sustainable infrastructure growth. Such advancements streamline project management and support future urban development initiatives.

Aurionpro’s contract with DMRC highlights the importance of local production and technological advancements. The project aligns with India’s long-term strategy for urban infrastructure modernization and growth.

Producing AFC systems in India will generate new jobs and boost industrial activities. This step supports the government’s commitment to strengthening domestic industries and promoting innovation.

Thus, the collaboration between Aurionpro and DMRC reflects their vision for modernizing urban transportation. The project confirms the critical role of smart technologies in India’s infrastructure development.
