Metros & railways


Assystem in India offers engineering services to public and private players in urban, suburban, regional and international networks for rail transportation and infrastructure.

Context and challenges


Rail is in India the main mode of long-distance transport, and the Indian rail network is one of the largest in the world. The Government is therefore investing heavily and all rail stakeholders are mobilising to adapt, modernise and build high-performance, energy-efficient infrastructure.

India's rail transport network covers the entire country, in both urban and rural areas, and must meet the needs of an ever-growing population. By 2050, the number of city residents is expected to reach 800 million, twice as many as today. Adapting existing transport infrastructure and developing high-quality, accessible, low-carbon transport services is now a priority for the country.

Our expertise in Metros & railways


Assystem in India is an international engineering group with a strong expertise in complex and regulated environments such as metro and railway sectors. Acting as owner engineer, Assystem in India offers multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral skills. We have been advising on metro projects for three decades and have strong expertise in the traffic network, tunnels, underpasses, elevated viaducts and underground stations.

Assystem in India has also developed expertise over the years in planning entire rail systems, including track and permanent way design, associated rail infrastructure such as station buildings, locomotive sheds, water supply, electrical services, rail accessory production plants, rail car unloading management, and restoration of rail structures.

Our main skills lie in managing large infrastructure projects and our ability to integrate complex systems. The systems provided by Assystem in India for rail and metro networks are instrumentation and control systems (signalling, CBTC, ATS), system equipment (rolling stock, rail, electric traction, overhead lines, garages), electromechanical equipment (HVAC, smoke removal, disabled persons, elevators, escalators), energy distribution (transformers and distribution substations), information and surveillance systems (passenger information systems, rolling stock traffic control system, video surveillance).
