BERLIN--(Marketwire - September 5, 2011) - Bombardier Transportation announced
today that it has received an order for 76 additional BOMBARDIER MOVIA metro
cars from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRC). The contract is valued at
approximately 84 million euro ($120 million US) and is a follow-on to the orders
for 114 vehicles announced in mid 2010. Delivery will commence in the third
quarter of 2012 and is expected to end in early 2013.

With the new order DMRC will be operating a fleet of 614 MOVIA metro cars, one
of the largest in the world. DMRC will be benefiting from economies of scale in
both acquisition and maintenance costs. Around 460 of these MOVIA cars are
already operating successfully on Delhi's metro network. With more high-capacity
MOVIA metro trains in operation, mobility in Delhi is improving on a weekly
basis, with passengers getting their travel experience enhanced by less waiting
time and more space inside the trains. During the 2010 Commonwealth Games in
Delhi the MOVIA metro trains were a cornerstone of the mobility plan
successfully implemented by DMRC.

Stéphane Rambaud-Measson, President, Passengers division, Bombardier
Transportation, said: "We are delighted to receive this additional order to
supply MOVIA vehicles in New Delhi. It is an excellent endorsement of our
growing relationship in India. We intend to continue to contribute to the
success of the Delhi Metro network by delivering more of our high performance
MOVIA vehicles, meriting the trust that the DMRC management have placed in us."

The MOVIA vehicles and BOMBARDIER FLEXX Metro 3000 bogies are manufactured
entirely at Bombardier's industrial site in Savli, Vadodara which is in Gujarat
State, India. The site inaugurated in 2008 has proven to be a real impetus to
the local economy. To date, 780 new direct positions and over 3,000 indirect
jobs through the local supplier network have been generated. The proven design
of the FLEXX Metro 3000 bogies is geared towards the operational requirements of
DMRC to ensure safe, reliable operations and low life cycle costs.

Benoît Cattin Martel, President & Managing Director, Bombardier Transportation
in India, said: "India's railway industry is expanding at great speed to keep up
with the infrastructural requirements of the country. Having anticipated this
growth, Bombardier in India is more than ready and willing to match the
industry's needs in terms of products, technology and our international
expertise." He added: "Making Vadodara the only city in the world equipped to
deliver all key electrical and mechanical components for the manufacturing of a
railway vehicle is a clear demonstration of Bombardier's local capacity and
commitment."
