The firms will design and construct telecommunications, centralised control, ticketing systems for Cairo Metro Line 4 Phase 1.
The 2,000km rail network is claimed to be the sixth-largest high-speed rail system worldwide.
Tanta, Sedfa, and Al Ousayrat stations are part of the rail corridor that spans from Alexandria to Aswan through Cairo.
The deliveries of rail fastening systems are slated to begin this year and continue to 2024.
This current rail line connects downtown Alexandria and the north-eastern district of Abu Qir.
The two tracks face heavy congestion in the Delta region and ENR aims to enhance their capacity.
MC and Kinki Sharyo have delivered around 1,600 railway cars to Egypt to date.
Each train will have the capacity to accommodate 2,580 commuters, along with wide corridors.
