Here’s more from OCBC:

Midas Holdings (Midas) announced that its 32.5% owned associate, Nanjing SR Puzhen Rail Transport (NPRT) has clinched two metro contracts totalling RMB3.13b.

The first contract is to supply 46 train sets to the Nanjing Metro Line 3 Project and is worth RMB2.15b, with delivery expected to take place from 2013 to 2015. The second contract, valued at RMB0.98b, is for the supply of 21 train sets for the Nanjing Metro Line 10 Project; delivery is expected to take place from 2013 to 2014.

Notwithstanding this positive announcement, we reckon that there could be a muted reaction from the market, given that (i) contribution will only kick in from FY13; and (ii) murky near-term outlook and increasing risk aversion surrounding China's railway industry following the high-speed train collision last Saturday.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
