BFG supplied FRP interior panels and driver’s cab components for the Chennai Metro fleet, manufactured in fire retardant polyester resin with gelcoat and painted finish. The scope included side walls, central ceilings, lateral ceilings, gangway partitions, cab partitions and driver’s cab. BFG engineers addressed the challenges of integrating FRP parts with metal parts by proposing bespoke jigs and fixtures. The first contract of 32 trainsets (4-car trains) was completed successfully in March 2019, followed by a 10-trainset extension order in May 2019.
