Metro company to sign maintenance contract with Mitsubishi for Cairo Metro Line 2

The Egyptian Company for Metro Management and Operation is expected to sign a contract with Japan’s Mitsubishi to maintain four trains on the Cairo Metro Line 2, an unnamed source tells Al Mal. The contract, whose duration remains unclear, will see the metro company paying EGP 3 mn per month for the maintenance works. Separately, the National Authority for Tunnels has received offers from four global companies, including a French-Egyptian consortium, for the contract to construct the Cairo Metro Line 2 extension, an unnamed source tells the newspaper. The authority is currently looking into the offers and plans to complete the extension’s feasibility studies and designs before year’s end, the source says.
