Siemens Mobility has signed a contract with the Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon (RMGL) to build a new metro line connecting Gurgaon Cyber City to Line II of the DMRC, via the connecting station of Sikanderpur. RMGL is a JV between ITNL ENSO Rail Systems (IERS), IL&FS Transportation Networks (ITNL) and DLF.

Under the contract, Siemens is likely to implement total rail solutions, ranging from coaches and electrification to signaling and system integration. It is expected to provide end-to-end rail solutions from a single source, besides five three-car metro coaches of aluminum design. The coaches are to run on the standard-gauge elevated track at an average speed of 30 km/hr.

The project is slated to be completed by December 2012 and, once complete, the new 6.1-km stretch will help commuters reduce their travel time significantly.
