 With an expanding network and increasing passenger load, the Delhi Metro is taking quick strides towards technology and infrastructure change. Over the past year as the Delhi Metro commissioned new lines as part of Phase II, Metro officials maintain that lessons have been learnt from Phase I and changes incorporated in the new lines.For Phase II, the new rolling stock has come as the biggest gift for commuters. The new stock from Bombardier, which saw initial glitches, came with several new hi-tech features that were improvisations made on the previous stock of trains.
A Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) spokesperson said: “We improved on the shortcomings of the earlier trains. The new trains, with better technology, have several features that will give Metro commuters world-class travel experience.”
“Features like external side display on each coach to indicate destination station, digital route maps showing present, next and destination stations, higher capacity air-conditioning units and heating and humidity control functions, CCTV cameras in each coach, sockets to recharge mobile phones and laptops have been incorporated in the new rolling stock for comfortable travel,” the official said.
