Delhi Metro Rail Corporation today denied reports of receiving 21 metro coaches from a Chinese manufacturer.
"We would like to clarify that the DMRC has neither placed any order nor received any Metro coach from the Chinese train manufacturer, CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive, as claimed by the reports published in some media," said Anuj Dayal, Executive Director (Corporate Communications), DMRC.
CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive, a subsidiary of major Chinese train manufacturer CSR Corporation, had claimed it supplied 21 cars to Delhi's metro rail system.
Earlier, the Chinese state media had reported that the company recieved its second order from India as it had exported 15 metro cars to the Delhi Metro in 2010.
The locomotive company had claimed the trains would be more energy-efficient and an industry model in India which is hit by power shortages.
CSR is the world's largest manufacturer of electric locomotives and is China's leading bullet-train maker.
