On 17 May 2016, Union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal flagged off the trial run of the first-of-its-kind driverless Metro train. The trial run commenced from the Mukundpur depot of Delhi Metro and ended at Majalis Park Metro Station on the Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar corridor of phase III.

The introduction of the Metro Rail Service in Delhi has changed the face of transportation in the National Capital Territory of India. The Metro has been specifically designed keeping in mind the comforts of the passengers and the traffic on the road.
The Metro Rail Service in Delhi has been appreciated all over the world. The metro railway network has covered almost the entire city and with continuous endeavours towards expansion, most of the neighbouring areas and suburbs will also be covered by the metro railway by the end of 2021. The Metro Rail Service has proved to be a boon for the people of the Union Territory.
The best thing that has happened since the introduction of the Delhi Metro is the reduction in traffic and pollution levels in Delhi. The expansion plans of the Delhi Metro had started especially for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Although the Delhi Metro is not the first metro railway in India, it can be said to be the first of its kind in the country.
Constructed with utmost architectural brilliance and state-of-the-art facilities, the Delhi Metro is very different from the other metro rails in the world. Apart from being technologically sound, the major aspect that has been given prime importance within the Delhi Metro is security.
The Delhi Metro is being constructed in phases. Most of the routes under Phase I were completed before 2010. The second phase, known as Phase II, covered 85 stations. It was also successfully completed by the end of 2010. The other projects in pipeline are Phase III and IV, which are expected to be ready by the end of 2016 and 2021 respectively.
The Delhi Metro stations have small kiosks that provide food and beverages to the commuters. Some stations like Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate, etc., have popular food outlets like McDonald’s, Nirula's, Cafe Coffee Day, etc. IRCTC has also opened a set of food kiosks that serve passengers with snacks and delicacies at reasonable rates. The kiosks (Food Tracks) offer light snacks and mini meals. In the interim budget of the 2014-15 fiscal year, DMRC received a budgetary support of Rs. 3,470.16 Crores and Rs. 838.07 Crores as equity.
In the 2013-14 fiscal year, DMRC was granted Rs. 2484.18 Crores as the budgetary support and Rs. 650 Crores as part of equity investment. To provide better services to its commuters, the Delhi Metro has taken certain initiatives.
These are listed below:. Introduction of six- and eight-coach trains on several routes. Besides the existing eight-coach trains plying between Jahangirpuri and HUDA City Centre, more such trains would be made operational. This has been particularly proposed/ done because during the rush hours in the morning and evenings, the Rajiv Chowk Metro Station gets two out of three trains having eight coaches. Additional trips on the route between Kashmere Gate and Gurgaon (Gurugram) between 9 a.m.
Have been introduced. Similarly, additional trains have been introduced on the Janakpuri West to Vaishali route and the Noida City Centre to Dwarka Sec-21 route, respectively. Delhi Metro Route Line 1: Dilshad Garden - Rithala (Red Line) The distance between Dilshad Garden and Rithala is 25.15 km. There are 21 stations on this route.
The metro trains run on an average frequency of four minutes. The fare for travelling on this line ranges from Rs. Line 3: Noida City Centre - Dwarka Sector 21 (Blue Line) Operating across 44 stations is Line 3. The distance covered under this route is 50.56 km.
The total time taken to cover all the 44 stations is about 90 minutes. The fare for travelling on this route ranges from Rs.
Originally, the Blue line of the Delhi Metro started from Indraprastha to Dwarka. On 12 November 2009, the line was extended from Yamuna Bank to Noida City Centre, with a total length of 13.1 km. Mandi House Interchange Station The first section of the Phase III of the Delhi Metro became functional for public on 26 June 2014.
It is a 3.2 km-long underground metro line connecting Mandi House (Blue line) and Central Secretariat (Yellow line); it is an extension of the Violet Line with a view to decongest the Rajiv Chowk Metro Station. The first train on the route was inaugurated by the Union Minister of Urban Development Venkaiah Naidu. The Mandi House metro station serves as an interchange station for three metro lines: Jahangirpuri - HUDA City Centre, Central Secretariat - Badarpur and Noida - Dwarka Sector 21.
The commuters of the Badarpur - Central Secretariat route bound for Noida, Vaishali as well as Dwarka can change trains at Mandi House without changing trains twice at the Central Secretariat and Rajiv Chowk metro stations. The metro trains on this route will run at a frequency of 3.25 minutes. Trial of Phase III of the Delhi Metro The Phase III of the Delhi Metro will make a difference of about 30 minutes of travelling time between Delhi and the NCR cities of Noida and Gurgaon.
The commuters will save on travelling time because the number of interchanging stations has been increased to 22 as compared to the existing nine interchanging hubs.
Delhi Metro has been active in usher in a new era in the sphere of mass urban transportation in India. DMRC Route Map: Board of Directors of DMRC: Shri Madhusudhan Prasad Chairman, DMRC Ltd. & Secretary (UD) Nirman Bhawan New Delhi-110011.
