Otis India announced on October 25 it has been contracted to provide 255 vertical-transportation (VT) units for the prestigious Bhopal and Indore Metro projects, the first metro lines in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The elevators and escalators will be supplied by Otis India’s Bengaluru factory. Otis India observes the two new metro lines reflect the Indian government’s prioritization of construction as part of a US$16 billion multiyear effort to build out metros, airports and railways throughout the country. The Bhopal Metro project represents a “transformation in public transportation” intended to make regional travel more convenient and efficient, Otis India stated. “We are proud to partner with the Madhya Pradesh government in this endeavor and congratulate the Indian government for the large outlay for infrastructure,” Otis India President Sebi Joseph said. “We are happy to support the government by contributing to the growth of India through robust ‘Make in India’ initiatives.”
