Rolling Stock
The Green Line uses standard gauge trains manufactured by a consortium of Mitsubishi, Hyundai Rotem and Bharat Earth Movers (BEML). A total of 196 cars for both the Green Line and the Purple Line were ordered, which are planned to run in both 4-car configurations (46 trains) and 6-car configurations (2 trains). One train was manufactured in Changwon in South Korea and rest of the trains were manufactured at BEML's facility in Bangalore. Width of these trains is 2.9 meters as compared to 3.2 meters of broad gauge trains.[5]
