Japans official development assistance (ODA) arm stated that the Department of Transportation (DOTr) is expected to offer the contract to Mitsubishi for the supply of the new rolling stocks that would be carried out starting 2020 until 2022.
The project forms part of JICAs 43.252 billion ODA loan for the Capacity Enforcement of Mass Transit Systems in Metro Manila Project designed to support the upgrade of transportation infrastructure in the country.
Mitsubishi Corp. said the deal for the supply of the new rolling stocks is nearly 30 billion.
