Copper-Silver Contact Wire for Metro Rail System 

KEC International, in collaboration with Hindalco Industries Limited, has successfully developed India’s first-ever 150 sq. mm Copper-Silver (Cu-Ag) contact wire tailored for metro rail applications. This innovation has been created jointly with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).

Mr. Vimal Kejriwal, MD & CEO – KEC International, and Mr. Rohit Pathak, CEO Copper, Hindalco Industries Limited, came together with Team KEC and Team Hindalco to successfully develop India’s first Copper-Silver (Cu-Ag) contact wire for metro rail systems. 

This collaboration between KEC International, Hindalco Industries, and DMRC exemplifies the strength of Indian engineering and the efficacy of cross-industry partnerships.

The newly developed Copper-Silver (Cu-Ag) contact wire has been designed to ensure high-speed and high-temperature performance, thereby reducing operational wear and tear. 

Furthermore, the indigenously developed Copper-Silver (Cu-Ag) contact wire will improve the water resistance and provide higher strength. 

 This initiative aligns with India’s vision of Aatma-Nirbhar Bharat, further advancing the nation’s capacity for self-reliance in critical infrastructure development.
