Advanced: Metro Operation and Maintenance

India at present has the third largest metro network in the world. Efficient metro rail operations and maintenance are crucial for ensuring safe and reliable functioning of urban transit systems. As metro networks expand, skilled personnel are essential for smooth operations, preventing delays, and minimising safety risks. Proper training enhances technical knowledge, fosters quick problem-solving, and ensures adherence to safety protocols. Effective Operations and maintenance minimises delays, maximises system lifespan, enhances safety, and ensures a comfortable experience for passengers, ultimately contributing to the overall success and sustainability of the metro network. With the growing population and urbanisation, efficient metro systems reduce congestion and pollution, making such training pivotal in promoting sustainable transportation.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC) has been instrumental in ushering in a new era in the sphere of mass urban transportation in India. The metro system completely revolutionised the mass transportation scenario not only in the National Capital Region but the entire country. The Delhi Metro has also contributed tremendously on the environment front by becoming the first ever railway project in the world to claim carbon credits for regenerative braking. DMRC has also been certified by the United Nations (UN) as the first Metro Rail and Rail based system in the world to get carbon Credits for reducing Green House gas emissions as it has helped to reduce pollution levels in the city by 6.3 lakh tons every year thus helping in reducing global warming.
