TK Elevator has deployed ten units of its “tugela” escalators for the Kolkata Metro modernization project in West Bengal.
These escalators, manufactured locally at TKE’s Pune facility in Maharashtra, have been installed across six Kolkata Metro stations.
Proven track record
tugela escalators have a globally proven track record in safely moving passengers in high-traffic areas and public infrastructure projects, making them the ideal solution for Kolkata Metro and its potential service extensions. tugela’s dependable technology and highly-durable components make it a robust and reliable product of choice for many public infrastructure and transportation network projects across the globe.
The Kolkata Metro project, where escalators across six stations were replaced, serves as a testament to the company’s reputation for outstanding quality, safety and durability, while paving the way for more modernizations and new installations in India as it undergoes rapid urbanization, TKE said in a release.
