their development is happening in Asia, particularly in China and India.
Government of India is also promoting the development of rail based transport
system including High Speed Railways, Rapid Rail Transit System for suburban areas
and Metro rail systems for cities. However, the sector is facing many challenges
including land acquisition, funding and financing, technology upgradation etc.
The panel of experts will share their views on the future of rail based public

Session II: Optimising Operations and Maintenance Expenditure
As per UITP Metro Statistics (2015), there are 169 metro systems in the world, out of
which 81 systems are more than 30 years old. The oldest metro system in India is
Kolkata metro but Delhi Metro, started in 2002, is currently the largest metro
network in the country. The metro rail development is still in its early stage in India.
Thus, the cities are not yet facing any major maintenance or asset replacement
issues. However, with the technology upgrading rapidly, metro system should
make appropriate choices to optimise their maintenance costs. Further, the
operational efficiency of the system can lead to significant improvement in its
financial sustainability.

Session III: Innovative Financing Model - How metros in India can tap international
financings?
The Government of India has unveiled the new Metro Rail Policy and a Metro Rail
Act 2017. So far, metro projects in India have largely relied on public investments
with equity contributions from State and Central governments. The projects have
typically been supported by multilateral agencies via G2G lending frameworks
including Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) loans. Given the shift in focus
under the new Metro Rail Policy, reliance on private investment will become
imperative to support the upcoming metro rail projects in the country. The
evolving PPP framework needs to ascertain that the projects are bankable and
risks are appropriately distributed between public and the private partner.
However, private investments would need to tap into alternative financing
solutions, especially commercial finance. KfW IPEX-Bank is one of the leading
banks to provide commercial financings solutions such as ECA (Export Credit
Agency)-backed financings for corporates and infrastructure project worldwide.
KfW IPEX-Bank aims to fill this gap by providing long-term capital towards
sustainable infrastructure development for urban transit solutions.

Session IV: Urban Rail Innovations - Best Practices
Urban rail operators have changed from a single line to a multiline network. The
network operations have undergone quantitative and qualitative changes, and
operations management is facing rapid internal and external changes. Metro
coach industry is undergoing major changes including automated driverless trains
and smarter train communication through wireless signalling. Further, there is an
increasing usage of Information Technology (IT), data analytics and Business
