On 5 February 2021, the
Land Transport Authority announced that it has purchased 17 two-car trains for the Sengkang and Punggol LRT systems. The new trains will be delivered progressively from 2024 to 2027 to replace the 25 existing one-car C810 trainsets. In addition to new trains, the
Sengkang Depot will also be expanded to from the existing to ensure that it has capacity and maintenance space for the new trains. The expansion of the depot will also see two new reception tracks being built to shorten the train launching time. To ensure there is enough electricity to support the larger fleet of trains, 3 new
power stations will be built, increasing the total number of power stations supporting the system to 8 once completed. In May 2023, the LTA ordered an additional 8 C810D trains, bringing the total number of C810D trains ordered to 25. These 8 two-car trains will replace all 8 C810 two-car trainsets, while 8 C810A trainsets will remain in service, bringing the total fleet to 33 two-car trains. On 23 November 2024, the first batch of 25 new C810D trains has arrived in Singapore and will undergo testing and commissioning works at the
Sengkang LRT Depot before entering passenger service by Q3 2025. On 24 January 2026, the C810D made its debut on the
Sengkang LRT, with the deployment of trainset 67 on the Sengkang LRT West Loop. ==Train formation==
