About Delhi Metro
The Delhi Metro has been instrumental in ushering in a new era in the sphere of
mass urban transportation in India. The swanky and modern Metro system introduced
comfortable, air conditioned and eco-friendly services for the first time in India
and completely revolutionized the mass transportation scenario not only in the
National Capital Region but the entire country.
Having constructed a massive network of 231 Km with 173 stations in record time,
the DMRC today stands out as a shining example of how a mammoth technically complex
infrastructure project can be completed before time and within budgeted cost by a
Government agency.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC) was registered on 3rd May 1995
under the Companies Act, 1956 with equal equity participation of the Government of
the National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) and the Central Government to
implement the dream of construction and operation of a world- class Mass Rapid
Transport System (MRTS).
The DMRC opened its first corridor between Shahdara and Tis Hazari on 25th
December, 2002. Subsequently, the first phase of construction worth 65 kilometres
of Metro lines was finished two years and nine months ahead of schedule in 2005.
Since then the DMRC has also completed the construction of another 125 kilometres
of Metro corridors under the second phase in only four and a half years.
Presently, the Delhi Metro network consists of about 231 Km with 173 stations. The
network has now crossed the boundaries of Delhi to reach NOIDA and Ghaziabad in
Uttar Pradesh, Gurgaon and Faridabad in Haryana. With the opening of the Botanical
Garden- Kalkaji Mandir section, new age trains equipped with the Unattended Train
Operation (UTO) technology has been introduced. These trains operate with the
Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling technology which facilitates
movement of trains in very short frequencies.
The Airport Express link between the Indira Gandhi International Airport and New
Delhi has now propelled Delhi to the league of global cities which have high speed
rail connectivity between the city and the airport.
The DMRC today has 247 train sets of four, six and eight coaches. More than a
hundred trains of six coach configuration and over 60 trains of eight coach
configuration are currently operational.
The Delhi Metro has also contributed tremendously on the environment front by
becoming the first ever railway project in the world to claim carbon credits for
regenerative braking. DMRC has also been certified by the United Nations (UN) as
the first Metro Rail and Rail based system in the world to get carbon Credits for
reducing Green House gas emissions as it has helped to reduce pollution levels in
the city by 6.3 lakh tons every year thus helping in reducing global warming.
It has also set up roof top solar power plants at many of its stations. All
stations of the presently under construction corridors are being constructed as
green buildings. In the present phase of Delhi Metro�s construction, the DMRC is in
the process of building another 160 kilometres of Metro lines which will weave a
web of Metro corridors along the city�s Ring Road besides connecting with many
other localities in NOIDA, Ghaziabad and Bahadurgarh.
Apart from providing Delhites with a comfortable public transport option, the Delhi
Metro is also contributing significantly towards controlling pollution as well as
reducing vehicular congestion on the roads. According to a study, Delhi Metro has
helped in removing about 5.79 lakh vehicles from the streets of Delhi.
