On 29 March 2017, CRRC Dalian Co., Ltd. acquired a metro car order from Nagpur, India.

A total of 69 metro cars will be produced by CRRC Dalian for subway operations in Nagpur, the largest city in central India, according to an agreement signed by the company and a local subway company.

The trains are for two urban rails in the city with a total length of 38 km.

The agreement also includes a 10-year train maintenance project,.

CRRC Dalian received its first train order in May 2015, providing 112 train coaches for the Calcutta subway.

With more cities planning to build urban rail systems, India has become an important potential market for Chinese train makers.

The order is expected to be completed this year.
