Delhi Metro: Lifeline Of National Capital
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 about 392.44 Kms with 288 stations (including NOIDA-Greater NOIDA Corridor and Rapid Metro, Gurugram) in record time in Delhi, NCR, 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.
The Delhi Metro network presently spans approximately 392.44 kilometers and encompasses 288 stations. Extending beyond Delhi, it now serves areas such as NOIDA and Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, as well as Gurgaon, Faridabad, Bahadurgarh, and Ballabhgarh in Haryana. Recent expansions include the Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar and Janakpuri West to Botanical Garden Sections, featuring modern trains equipped with Unattended Train Operation (UTO) technology. These trains utilize Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) signaling technology, allowing for high-frequency train movement. Additionally, the network includes the NOIDA-Greater NOIDA Aqua Line, constructed and operated by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). Moreover, the Rapid Metro, spanning 12.85 kilometers, complements the Delhi Metro network by providing connectivity within Gurugram, with a connection point at Sikanderpur station on the Yellow Line.
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.
