Metro Rail–Boon to the Nation

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), also known as the lifeline of Delhi, has begun construction of metro rail structures in the city in order to alleviate the challenges that Delhi commuters face, such as traffic congestion and pollution. The DMRC is constantly striving to use the finest building methods and contribute to the growth of society and the country. It has also embraced innovative construction technologies such as the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) for subterranean tunneling, segmental viaduct building, long span extra dosed bridges, and so on, resulting in the development of the country as a whole. DMRC has faced numerous hurdles from its inception in Phase-I to Phase-III, including constructing an underground station in one of the most crowded places in the city. In order to promote environmental development, solar panels have been installed at Metro Stations/Depots, and rainwater collecting has been implemented in entire corridors in Delhi. The installation of a Passenger Screen Door (PSD) for passenger safety at the platform and the implementation of the Multi-Modal Integration (MMI) concept to provide easy interchange of modes of transportation has long been top priorities for DMRC. DMRC has made extensive use of precast technology in its Phase-IV project in order to move forward in developing the nation and creating environment friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable structures at a faster rate of construction.
