Bombardier eyes metro rail car exports from Savli unit.

Having recently won metro rail car orders from Australia for its Savli (Gujarat) unit, the Indian arm of Bombardier Transportation, the global rail vehicle manufacturing company, plans to expand its reach abroad, especially in Asian countries.

'Though we cater to both domestic and export markets, the latter offer a good opportunity. We recently bagged an export order from Australia for 400 metro cars. We are looking at Asian markets; one of the fastest growing regions for metro cars,' said Harsh Dhingra, director and chief country representative of the French-headquartered company.

The company has a manufacturing capacity of one metro car a day at Savli (near Vadodara). Bombardier is also looking at the domestic market in India for metro and monorail car supply.
