মেইনস
GS3 - Infrastructure: Indian metro systems have historically relied heavily on imported rolling stock, raising costs and import dependence. Joint ventures such as Titagarh-CRRC, now supplying BMRCL's Green Line, build domestic manufacturing capacity in line with the broader push for indigenisation in urban transport infrastructure. The way forward lies in scaling such domestic manufacturing partnerships across metro projects nationwide to cut costs, generate employment, and reduce reliance on imports.
