Siemens Technology for Mumbai : GlobalGiants.com
India is becoming an increasingly attractive business location. That‘s especially evident in Mumbai, which generates 38 percent of India‘s gross domestic product and has a broad range of industry that makes it an economic, trade and fashion center. Mumbai is also the home of the world‘s largest and most prolific film industry, nicknamed “Bollywood.“ Mumbai‘s population density reaches levels that cannot be fathomed in Europe. For example, one square kilometer in Mumbai has to accommodate 29,000 people; in Berlin it’s only 3,800. Some 200 different languages and dialects from both India and abroad are spoken in Mumbai, where millions of people ride the commuter trains from the suburbs to the city center every day. Siemens has been commissioned by the Indian Railway Ministry to supply the drive systems and complete electrical equipment for 170 three-section trains. That includes pantographs, transformers, traction and auxiliary inverters, traction motors, a train control system and a passenger information system. The systems, which have been adapted to local climatic and environmental conditions, will reduce energy consumption by up to 30 percent and lower maintenance and servicing costs. The Grand Hyatt Mumbai hotel has also been adapted to the city‘s extreme climatic conditions. Thanks to ultramodern building technology from Siemens, pleasant temperature and humidity levels can be preset and kept constant throughout the hotel complex. An automatic fire alarm system and surveillance cameras enhance the safety and security of hotel guests and personnel, and the state-of-the-art communication technology meets the highest international standards. In the healthcare sector as well, Mumbai is increasingly relying on high-tech solutions. The Jaslok Hospital and the Saifee Hospital use medical technology from Siemens that includes magnetic resonance tomographs, ultrasound units and complete X-ray systems. |GlobalGiants.com|
