Orange Line Metro Train Unveiled in Lahore

According to Punjab Chief Minister, Shahbaz Sharif, the Orange Line Metro Train is a project of public interest, which is a milestone to provide modern transportation facilities to a common man.

The train will be inaugurated at Qila Gujan Station. It has the capacity to transport about 500 people at one time.

Orange Line Metro train route will spread from Ali Town to Thokar Niaz Baig, from Multan Road to Scheme Mor, Chowburji, MAO College, Mall Road, Laxmi Chowk and Railway Station, from Garhi Shahu Bridge to GT Road and UET and from Pakistan Mint to Dera Gojran.

The first of twenty-seven trains designed for Orange Line Metro reached Lahore in July this year.  First of the trains will be handed over by the Chinese company to Punjab government and the remaining twenty-six will reach at the end of this year.

The train, with five coaches, has been designed for the 25.58 km Orange Line.

An energy-saving air-conditioning system, suitable for the constant high summer temperatures and unstable voltage in Pakistan, is the showpiece of the design, according to an engineer.

The design combines the national flower of Pakistan and the shape of the dome of the Badshahi Mosque.

The designed maximum operational speed of the train is around 80 km per hour.

Earlier, China and Pakistan signed a framework agreement to build the Orange Line of rapid mass transit system in Lahore. The 26-kilometer Orange Line will have twenty-six stations, two of which will be underground.


  • Considering the amount of trains they are importing,

    They should have tired to negotiate some technology transfer for local assembly.

    • Local Agar 100 Rupee Ka Bhi Mil Raha hona To China Se 80 Rupee Ka Parega : Ghar Main Ane tak Ka :
      China Makes Cheaper Cheaper Product : Local Industry At Lest Quality Acha Banati But Nahi
      Hum Ko Import He Karna hai

      • Still, we are paying huge amount to car assemblers in false hope that they may increase localization.

    • Pakistan also has its own locomotive factory. They should have done some of the work

  • Good project for such a big city if punjab’s literacy rate is 100% and modern health facility is at doorstep and last but never the least loadshedding is no more an issue in the province.

  • well no offence to the project. “Gareeb awam ka faida hoga”, but on a serious note basic requirements are still not available for people in the province.
    PML-N only wants takhty of sharieef brothers every where.

  • عمران خان بھی کے پی کے میں درخت لگا رہا ہے کیوں کہ صرف بندر ایک درخت سے دوسرے درخت پر دور تک فاصلہ طے کر سکتا ہے …. بندر بن جاؤ بس
