LMRC has also awarded a Rs640m $9.6m contract to Datamatics Global Services (DGSL) and Mikroelektronika to provide an automatic fare collection (AFC) system for the city’s first metro line project.

Under the deal, the consortium will be responsible for the design, manufacture, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning, covering 22 metro stations in the project’s first phase.

The deal will also see the implementation of next-generation contactless smartcard-based ticketing solutions, as well as providing training for operations and maintenance personnel.
