Mauritius in talks with Delhi Metro for light rail project.

The Mauritius government has approached the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for a 'light rail' project that will cover over 37 km from the capital city to the centre of the country.

DMRC officials said a preliminary meeting was held between senior Metro officials and Joyker Nayeck, Deputy High Commissioner in the Mauritius Embassy, on this.

'It is too early to suggest anything. All we can say at the moment is that officials from the Mauritius High Commission are keen on understanding our technology. We have the expertise to develop Metro networks in any terrain now, underground, overground, underwater or any other. In case the Mauritius government decides to take our help, we are well-equipped to do so,' a senior DMRC official said.
