  • A joint venture between ComfortDelGro and RATP Dev has won a 17 billion Danish kroner contract to operate and maintain the Copenhagen Metro.
  • The contract will run for 12 years to 2039, with an option for a three-year extension, subject to contract signing after a statutory standstill period.
  • The deal expands ComfortDelGro’s overseas rail operations and will also cover planned modernization and renewal projects.

ComfortDelGro has won a 12-year contract to operate and maintain Copenhagen’s fully automated metro in a joint venture with French transport operator RATP Dev. The contract is worth 17 billion Danish kroner, or S$3.4 billion.

The consortium, KBH Metro Partner, was selected after an international tender, ComfortDelGro said. Contract signing is expected in September after a statutory standstill period. The agreement runs until 2039 and includes an option for a further three years.

The Copenhagen Metro has four lines, 44 stations and 43 kilometers of track. It operates around the clock and carried a record 135 million passengers in 2025. KBH Metro Partner will also support modernization and renewal projects planned for the network.

The award marks ComfortDelGro’s second rail operation in Scandinavia, after its contract to operate and maintain the Stockholm Metro. It is also the company’s third automated-metro collaboration with RATP Dev.

ComfortDelGro operates Singapore’s North East Line, Downtown Line and Sengkang-Punggol LRT through SBS Transit. With the Copenhagen contract, the company said its rail network in operation or under mobilization will exceed 420 kilometers, about five times the network it had when it began expanding overseas. “This selection demonstrates how the rail expertise we have built in Singapore can be scaled into a repeatable model for international markets,” said group CEO Cheng Siak Kian.
