The initiative seeks to transform DMRC’s more than three decades of experience in planning, developing and operating one of India’s largest metro networks into an international business opportunity. Sanjay Jamuar has been appointed as the first CEO of DMIL, marking the beginning of a dedicated effort to pursue overseas consultancy, project execution and O&M opportunities. The move could strengthen India’s position as an exporter of metro-rail expertise and comprehensive urban-mobility solutions.

To accommodate rising passenger demands without compromising efficiency, DMRC has significantly reduced train headway on its busiest corridors from nearly seven minutes in its early years down to just 2 minutes and 18 seconds. Emphasizing the link between punctuality and hardware dependability, the network has recorded an impressive Mean Distance Between Failures (MDBF) of 2.72 million car-kilometers. Furthermore, DMRC leads the country in automated transit, operating India’s largest driverless network with nearly 29% of its tracks functioning under Unattended Train Operation (UTO).

Dr. Vikas Kumar, Managing Director, DMRC felicitated the station teams by presenting them with a ‘Certificate of Achievement’. In addition, several employees were honoured with ‘Energy Conservation Excellence Awards’ for achieving significant energy savings through efficient operation and maintenance of systems. This recognition is intended to motivate employees across the network to further enhance performance and adopt innovative energy-saving practices.

Solar developers associated with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for nearly a decade, were also felicitated for their exemplary collaborative efforts to maximise solar power generation and advance DMRC’s commitment to a greener and more sustainable future. M/s Purshotam Rays Power Pvt. Ltd. & Purshotam Green Pvt.

Ltd. secured the Second Prize for recording a 12.12% improvement in CUF over the same period. This was achieved through a joint initiative ‘SAHYOG’, launched by DMRC with 14 Solar developers, to check the health of plant and maximise solar generation.

DMRC continues to set benchmarks in sustainable urban mobility by integrating energy-efficient technologies, renewable energy solutions, and employee-driven conservation initiatives, reinforcing its role as a leader in sustainable mass transit.
