The package, worth 22 billion Yen, is for the Sg Buloh - Kajang (SBK) Line, the first of three lines of the KVMRT project.

To date MHI has delivered large-scale railway system projects to Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan as well as Dubai Municipality as a system integrator.

On the strength of the KVMRT order going forward, MHI aims to further boost its aggressive marketing activities for railway systems in Asia region as growing market and worldwide.
