CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive, a subsidiary of major Chinese train manufacturer, CSR Corporation Ltd., has sold 21 trains to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, it said Saturday.

The sale marked the company's second order from India. The company exported 15 metro trains to New Delhi in 2010, reported Xinhua.

The locomotive company said the trains would be more energy efficient and thus be an industry model in India which is affected by power shortages.

CSR is China's leading bullet train maker and CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive manufactures European-standard metro trains.

Oh no, Chinese don't have high-quality products that Indians are used to such as this:

These are not some ordinary engines. They are the work horses of one of the world's largest railway networks comprising 115,000 km carrying 9 billion people a year.

Anyway the comparison is not apt. The engines that Chinese company supplied are for a city metro and the photograph is of a regular Indian made train engine.

The trains are actually from Siemens, and was manufactured at CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive facility in China, as a sub contract. They are meant for Gurgaon Rapid Metro not for Delhi Metro.


@Hafizzz Thats a bullet train, not metro.

These are the Siemens train, manufactured in China.

Delhi Metro also buys from Bombardia. May be this is the first batch of the 150.

The Indians will not like these Chinese trains - they cannot sit on the roof, hang on the sides and dangle around underneath.

Indian made engines are up to the expectations while Pakistanis still complain about the failure of Chinese train engines.

While Chinese will love to jump in their trains through windows.

FYI Delhi Metro Coaches r manufactured at Bombardia's Varoda, Gujarat factory n not imported from China.

Besides BEML also manufactures Metro Coaches at Banglore.

Its only the engines which r currently being imported.
