The first train will run on the Central Secretariat to Jehangirpuri underground line. After inducting the train into service, Mr Sreedharan also took a ride on the train. The acquisition of the train is part of INR 2,984 crore deals with Bombardier under which DMRC will procure 83 broad gauge trains by 2011.
