ABB Ltd has been awarded an order worth Rs.289 crore from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to supply the turnkey electrification package for Delhi Metro Rail project (Phase II).

The project scope includes electrification of overhead lines, provision of auxiliary substations and a state-of-the-art SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) solution interconnecting all the stations en-route, linking the main receiving and traction substations to a central control center and a back-up control center.

The company's comprehensive system package comprises several leading edge power technologies including a range of switchgear, distribution equipment and remote controlled auxiliaries. By using similar equipment as that supplied in Phase I, DMRC will also benefit in terms of asset management services and managing their spares inventory.

The Delhi Metro presently covers 65 km both underground and at surface level, with 59 stations in operation. Phase II aims to service another 100 km with 75 stations.
