Three bidders were selected for the financial bid and the lowest bidding company, M / s Bombardier India Pvt. The contract was awarded on Friday. State-of-the-art trains for the Agra and Kanpur metro projects will be supplied by the company's plant in Savli (Gujarat). The 'Make in India' campaign of the central government will also gain strength from this.
