Under the proposed arrangement, DTC will bear the operational expenditure at the approved Gross Cost Contract (GCC) rate of Rs 45 per kilometre, while NTPC will support costs beyond this framework through its CSR mechanism. Singh said hydrogen fuel technology represents an important milestone in Delhi’s transition to future-ready and environmentally responsible mobility solutions. He added that collaboration with organisations such as NTPC will help strengthen the city’s public transport network, contribute to cleaner air, and support the broader goal of building a greener and more sustainable future.

To acknowledge the dedicated efforts that led to DMRC’s three metro stations getting recognition by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). 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 First Prize for achieving a 19.7% increase in Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF) compared to the previous year, while M/s Azure Power Saturn 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.
