CHINT Building the Power Backbone of Urban Transit in Malaysia

JUL 21, 2025

Transiting to a Modern, Connected Malaysia

As Malaysia's leading urban rail developer, Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp) is at the forefront of transforming public transport in the Klang Valley, home to millions of commuters. Their mission: to create a fast, efficient, and reliable transit system that supports the country's smart city ambitions.

MRT Corp continues to lead large-scale rail infrastructure projects. From the Kajang Line to the upcoming Shah Alam Line, the organization required a scalable and highly dependable low-voltage power distribution system to support uninterrupted operations and long-term network resilience.

Solving Power Challenges in a High-Pressure Transit Environment

For MRT Corp, delivering reliable transit service across a mix of lines and station types meant overcoming a range of infrastructure and operational challenges:

• High Reliability Requirements

In densely populated, high-traffic urban environments, even brief power disruptions could result in significant service interruptions, making uninterrupted power supply essential.

• Diverse Infrastructure Conditions

The power distribution system had to operate reliably across a variety of settings, including underground tunnels, elevated tracks, and multi-level station structures.

• Scalability and Standardization

With multiple large-scale projects underway, MRT Corp required a standardized and scalable power solution to streamline design,reduce engineering complexity, and accelerate deployment timelines.

Designed for Reliability, Built for the Future

To address these challenges, CHINT provided standardized, high-performance low-voltage solutions across MRT Corp's major rail projects.

The solution enabled MRT Corp to achieve key operational and project efficiencies:

• Simplified deployment through modular, pre-qualified components that reduced installation time and engineering complexity.

• Maintain continuous operations that stable power delivery in high- demand, high-traffic environments.

Scalable infrastructure that supported seamless integration across new and future transit lines, including the LRT Shah Alam Line.

Delivering the Power Behind a More Connected City

With CHINT's standardized low-voltage solutions, MRT Corp achieved measurable results across its expanding rail network:

Seamless Operations

Maintained uninterrupted service across all lines with reliable, resilient power systems

On time-to-completion

Met project timelines through standardized, uniform components that streamlined deployment and maintainance

Scalable infrastructure

Deployed a future-ready power system that now supports over 100 stations, with capacity to scale further.

Standardization was key, enabling MRT Corp to deliver reliable service while expanding efficiently. Consistency in design led directly to better control over cost, time, and performance.
