Delhi Metro Interesting Facts
The Delhi Metro, managed by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), is a joint venture between the Government of NCT and the Government of India. It began operations in 2002, running from Welcome station to Tis Hazari on the Red Line. As India's busiest and largest metro system, it spans nearly 350 km across 10 active lines, serving Delhi and NCR cities like Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Bahadurgarh.
The network includes underground, elevated, and ground-level platforms, with trains running up to 80 km/h. Trains have 4, 6, or 8 coaches, with a frequency of 1-4 minutes during peak hours and 5-10 minutes during non-peak hours. The Hauz Khas station on the Pink Line, 29 meters below ground, is the deepest, while the Pink and Orange Line crossing at Dhaula Kuan is the highest, 23.6 km above ground.
The Delhi Metro features radial, circular, and semi-circular lines, and is renowned for its efficiency, with Elattuvalapil Sreedharan, the first Managing Director, famously known as the "Metro Man."
Delhi Metro Overview and History
About Delhi Metro
The idea of a mass rapid transit system for New Delhi was first proposed in 1969 following a traffic and travel study. In 1984, the Urban Arts Commission suggested a multi-modal transport system with three underground corridors. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) was established on 3 May 1995, and construction began on 1 October 1998, with Hong Kong MTRC providing technical consultation.
The first line, the Red Line, was inaugurated on 24 December 2002 by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, with stations progressively opening between 2002 and 2006 under Phase I. Phase II expanded the network from 2008 to 2011, connecting Delhi with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Phase III construction started in 2011 and was fully completed by 18 September 2021 with the Grey Line. Phase IV began in March 2019, aiming to extend the network beyond 450 km, potentially making Delhi Metro the 7th longest in the world by route length. The Metro was planned in phases over 20 years, with each phase taking about five years to complete.
