Reflecting the administrative importance of the transition, the programme drew over 250 participants.

The MoU was signed at Metro Bhawan today by the authorised signatories of DMRC and IRT, Monash in the presence of senior officials from both the organisations.

Under the ambit of this MoU, exchange programs between Monash University and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Academy (DMRC Academy) may also be organised from time to time. DMRC Academy shall be the knowledge and training partner for all such activities.

DMRC shall identify studies related to the metro system to be taken up through IRT, Monash University under specific contractual agreements, to be finalised on a case-to-case basis.

This MoU marks a significant step forward in DMRC’s collaboration with one of the world’s leading railway technology institutes, enhancing DMRC’s capabilities in key operational and maintenance areas. This association will also create new opportunities for future ventures, facilitating the exchange of technology and expertise to improve safety and reliability of train operations, as well as enhancing the passenger’s travel experience.

This certification comes after DMRC previously secured carbon-neutral certification for its corporate headquarters at Metro Bhawan and the staff quarters located in Sector-50, Noida. The initiative aligns with the government’s objective of reaching net zero emissions by 2070, reflecting DMRC’s dedication to sustainability.
