India's first privately funded Metro project, the Gurgaon's Rapid Metro, 
will be open to the public from January 2013.

The metro will link the existing Sikanderpur station with DLF-3 and will 
have five three-coach trains in the initial stage.

The new trains will be air-conditioned aluminium coaches, which can cope 
with more than 50°C with a scroll compressor system installed in the air 
conditioners of the coaches.

The trains can accommodate 1,000 passengers and are designed to operate 
at a maximum speed of 80km/hr.

CCTV cameras will be installed inside and outside the coaches to enable 
the drivers to see the entry and exit of passengers.

Rapid metro Rail Gurgaon, executer of the project, has started the 
construction on the 5km line and placed orders for 15 coaches from Siemens.
