MetroRail Asia makes its debut at New Delhi, India in September 2009
The only platform in the world dedicated to metro developments in India, MetroRail Asia is the perfect forum where key metro authorities, operators and technology partners find out what are the key issues shaping urban transportation in India, and debate the pertinent commercial questions with industry peers.
More than 500Km of metro lines have been approved and more projects are in the pipeline. Be part of the action! 6 Indian cities will be here to reveal plans. Don’t miss this unique briefing that will give you first hand information to the opportunities that lie in the highly exciting Indian metro market!
Terrapinn, the producer of the highly successful Metro Rail conference is proud to present Metro Rail Asia 2009, a conference dedicated to metro developments in India and where global metro rail professionals meet, network and do business with the Indian metro operators.
Why India?
- India has a population of more than 1 billion and 30% of them are living in urban areas. A country with 40 million-plus cities, only 3 cities have metro system now. Would building more roads ease India’s transport woes? What would India do?
- India’s economy has dazzled the world with a sustained growth rate of 8-9% for the last 5 years, a booming capital market and rapid growth in foreign direct investment. In order to keep growing, India has to ensure that infrastructures in its cities are taken care of. 300 million people need to be transported to work efficiently and on time daily. Building more roads and depending on private vehicles would not be feasible with exploding fuel prices and increasing environmental pollution.
- Many cities in India have come to realize that metro needs to be the backbone of a big city’s transport system. 6 cities are in the midst of their metro projects now. 500km of metro lines have been approved and many more projects are expected to be approved in the near future. US$15billion of investment from the private sector for metro projects is expected in the next decade.
More than 150 senior decision makers from India’s metro industry would discuss strategies in revenue growing and procurement, reveal the latest metro plans, and find out about the latest innovations at MetroRail India 2009.
Seize this chance to find out where the opportunities lie and network with the key decision makers from India’s metro regulators and operators!
