KOLKATA, INDIA, JUNE 24, 2026
Kolkata Metro adopts ABB’s
electrification and motion control
solutions to enhance efficiency
and reliability
• The 25-year alliance between ABB and Kolkata Metro has helped
enhance efficiency, and safety, facilitating seamless operations with
reduced downtime
• ABB’s electrification and motion-control solutions deployed across
the Kolkata Metro network at stations as well as underground tunnels
• More than 80% of Metro networks in India use ABB technology
Kolkata Metro, India’s first metro railway established in 1984, has partnered with ABB to enhance the
efficiency, reliability and safety of its expanding urban transit network. Supporting seamless operations
across underground and elevated corridors, ABB’s advanced electrification and motion-control solutions
have been deployed across key metro infrastructure facilities. Today, the 72-km metro system operates
more than 300 train trips daily and serves over half a million passengers, playing a vital role in easing
traffic congestion and promoting sustainable mobility in the city.
A wide range of ABB Electrification solutions, including low-voltage and medium voltage gas-insulated
switchgear, lightning protection systems, distribution boards, and variable frequency drives (VFDs),
have been deployed across various station and tunnels throughout the network. These solutions are
designed to optimize space, reduce downtime, support efficient operations, and enable safe ventilation,
contributing to operational continuity. ABB Motion's HVAC-dedicated packaged drives help control
critical cooling and ventilation infrastructure, supporting passenger comfort and safety during daily
operations and smoke extraction functions during emergencies within the metro station, while making
noticeable energy savings – on average of 25 percent.
Kiran Dutt, President – Electrification, ABB India said “As India accelerates its journey toward low-
carbon, smart urban transit, the need for highly efficient and intelligent solutions has never been more
urgent. Today, ABB’s broad portfolio of technologies are helping our customers drive efficient
operations across 80% of the nation’s metro rail networks. Over the past 25 years, ABB has closely
partnered with Kolkata Metro to equip its network with future-ready products & solutions across
different corridors. Through local manufacturing and innovations under the ‘Make in India’ initiative, ABB
continues to support India's vision for a modern, sustainable, and future-ready transportation
ecosystem.”
Various ABB solutions have been deployed across Kolkata Metro’s network, engineered to the specific
infrastructure requirements and operational needs of different locations. These solutions are installed
across key metro corridors and facilities, including the Sealdah–Phoolbagan, Joka–Majerhat, Barun
Sengupta–Nazrul Tirtha, Airport, Shahid Khudiram station and Blue Line corridors, as well as at
Dakshineswar, Baranagar, Metro Railway Bhavan, and India’s largest underground metro station— Jai
Hind Bimanbandar. Supporting various aspects of metro infrastructure, right from power distribution
and electrification to HVAC applications, these solutions contribute to the efficient operation of the
network and support Kolkata Metro’s ongoing infrastructure development efforts.
ABB is a global technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and
resource-efficient future. By connecting its engineering and digitalization expertise, ABB helps
industries run at high performance, while becoming more efficient, productive and sustainable, so they
outperform. At ABB, we call this ‘Engineered to Outrun’. The company has over 140 years of history and
