'We are looking at monorail, high-speed and Metro projects'.

Japanese major Hitachi Rail, which has bid for a signalling contract in the Western Dedicated Rail Freight Corridor project, is looking to tie up with Indian firms in the manufacturing and technology space. At a time when India is seeking foreign direct investment (FDI) for rail-based projects, the company wants to focus on projects that have a high probability of getting implemented. In a telephonic interview with BusinessLine, Alistair Dormer, Hitachi Rail's Global CEO, spoke of the firm’s plans in India and how private investments are getting routed into high-speed rail projects.
