LIFE LINE OF THE CAPITAL. CAPITAL (DMRC)
• The Delhi Metro is a rapid transit system in the Delhi that is built and is operated by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC). • The first section of the Delhi Metro was opened on December 24,2002. It became the second underground rapid transit system in India, after Kolkatta. The Delhi Metro has a combination of elevated, at-grade and underground lines.
– The Delhi Metro has won numerous awards for its environmentally friendly practices from many renowned organisation including the United Nations, RINA, and ISO. Delhi Metro was the first metro in the world to be ISO 14001 certified for environmentally friendly construction.

The concept of a metro for Delhi was first formalized in the Delhi Master Plan of 1960, and the legal framework for the metro was laid out in the Metro Railways (Construction of Works) Act of 1978. Actual work towards building the metro, however, only started in MARCH 5,1995 when the DMRC was established. After the previous problems experienced by the Calcutta Metro, which was badly delayed and 12 times over budget due to "political meddling, technical problems and bureaucratic delays", the DMRC was given full powers to hire people, decide on tenders and control funds. Physical construction work started on OCTOBER 1,1998. Aside from one major disagreement in 2000, where the Ministry of Railways forced the system to use broad gauge despite the DMRC's preference for standard gauge construction proceeded smoothly. The first line opened on DECEMBER 24,2002 and the entire Phase I of the project was completed in December 2005, on budget and almost three years ahead of schedule, an achievement described as "nothing short of a miracle" by BusinessWeek. Dr. E. Sreedharan, Sreedharan the Managing Director of the Metro during the Phase I construction, was declared "Indian of the Year for 2007" by CNN-IBN news channel.

Phase I of the network comprises 65.11 km of route length with 13.01 km underground corridor and 52.10 km surface/elevated corridor. Phase II of the network comprises 128 km of route length and 79 stations, and is presently under construction, with the first section opened in June 2008 and a target completion date of 2010.] Phase III (112 km) and IV (108.5 km) are planned to be completed by 2015 and 2020 respectively, with the network spanning 413.8 km by then, making it larger than London's Underground (408 km) As the city expands beyond its city limits, there will be further extensions of the network in suburbs, because the northern outskirts of Delhi (Narela) and the suburbs beyond it (Kundli, Sonepat) and the south-eastern suburb of Greater Noida are currently left untouched in the Delhi Metro Master plan 2021. Northern extensions would be provided by extending Yellow line (Line 2) northwards. Also plans have been mooted to construct a new line from Noida Sector-62 to Greater Noida which will intersect Indraprastha - Noida Sector-32 line (blue line) which is already under construction

Each train consists of four coaches and can carry up to 240 seated and 400 standing passengers. The trains operate at intervals of 3 to 4.5 minutes between 6:00 to 23:00. Coaches on all trains are well ventilated and air-conditioned at a temperature of 20~22°C. Trains operating within the network typically travel at speeds below 80 km/h, or 50 mph, and stop about 20 seconds at each MRTS station. The MRTS rolling stock are manufactured by ROTEM, relying on 1676 mm (5 ft 6 in) track gauge ( broad gauge). As of 2009, the metro system has a total network length of 76.7 km, with 68 stations on 3 separate lines (14 underground, 52 elevated and 2 at-grade station). All metro stations and trains are monitored constantly by more than 1200 closed-circuit cameras, and specially trained Delhi Metro police are stationed at all stations and trains to deal with law and order issues in the system. Trains are at platform level with a small platform gap to allow easy movement of passengers. The Delhi Metro is also one of the few metros in the world to have plain clothed metro-marshals on trains. Intercoms are provided in each train car for emergency communication between the passengers and the driver. Eating, drinking, smoking, and chewing of gum are prohibited in the entire system. Automated station announcements are recorded in Hindi and English. Many stations have services such as ATMs, food outlets, cafés and convenience stores.

Delhi Metro commuters have the following choices for ticket purchase. • Smart card: Valid for one year from the last time of use, these cards are available in denominations of Rs.50 to Rs. 800. A 10% discount is given on all travel made on it.A deposit of Rs.50 needs to be made to buy a new card.These cards are most convenient for frequent commuters. • RFID Token: These tokens are valid only for a single journey on the day of purchase and the value depends on the destination. Fares are decided based on the destination station using the token table. Fares for a single journey range from Rs.6 to Rs.22. • Tourist card: These cards can be used for unlimited travels on the Delhi metro network over a short period of time. There are two kinds of tourist cards - the 1 day and the 3 day. Cost of 1-day card is Rs. 70 and 3-day card is Rs. 200.

On July 12th 2009, a portion of an under construction bridge collapsed when its launching girder lost balance as it was being erected at Zamroodpur, near East of Kailash, on the Central Secretariat-Badarpur corridor slated to be opened September 2010. Six people were killed and 15 others injured. The day after, a crane that was removing the debris collapsed, and with a bowling pin effect collapsed two other nearby cranes, injuring six.
•
On OCTOBER 19,2008, 19,2008 a girder launcher and a part of the Blue Line Indraprastha-New Ashok Nagar extension under construction overhead metro line in Laxmi Nagar, East Delhi collapsed and fell on passing vehicles underneath. Workers were lifting a 400-tonne concrete span of the bridge with the help of a crane when the launcher collapsed along with a 34m long span of the bridge on top of a Blue line bus killing the driver and a labourer.
•
The Metro rolling stock was initially manufactured by a consortium of companies comprising ROTEM, Mitsubishi Corporation (MC), and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (MELCO). The rolling stocks are now being built by Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML). Trains run on broad gauge (1676 mm) and consist of four 3.2 metre wide stainless steel lightweight coaches with vestibules permitting movement throughout their length. The system is extensible up to 8 coaches. As of May 2009, the Delhi Metro operates a total of 70 trains on the three lines.The rolling stocks are similar to K-Stock of the MTR.
•
A $590 million contract for over 400 coaches for phase II has been awarded to BOMBARDIER. While initial trains will be manufactured in Germany and Sweden, the remainder will be built at Bombardier's Indian factory in , near VADODARA.
•The power supply is at 25 kV AC through overhead catenary
• The underground sections have Centralized Automatic Train Control (CATC) comprising Automatic Train Operation (ATO), Automatic Train Protection (ATP) and Automatic Train Signaling (ATS) systems. • For metro line 3, Siemens Transportation Systems supplied the electronic interlocking Sicas, the operation control system Vicos OC 500 and the automation control system LZB 700 M.
• Most of the Metro stations on the Blue Line conduct Rainwater harvesting as an environmental protection measure. The Delhi Metro has established large optimally-designed catchments areas at many stations. • Each station has been designed with a unique scheme. Local art college students have designed decorative murals at the Metro stations.
