Delhi Metro Station

The Delhi Metro ( English : Delhi Metro Rail; Hindi : दिल्ली मेट्रो रेल Dillī meṭro rel ), also known as Delhi Mass Rapid Transit System ( DMRTS ), is the subway system of India's capital and second largest metropolis, Delhi . The operator of this local transport system is the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited . The introduction of a subway came late for a city of this size; Today Delhi has over 10 million inhabitants. The first metro line opened on December 24, 2002. Due to major expansion efforts in connection with the Commonwealth Games in 2010 , the network had already reached a length of 181.8 kilometers in 2011.

Line network

The current 252 kilometer network (as of March 2018) consists of eight lines and one branch line. The trains run between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. with an interval of 2 minutes 40 seconds to 5 minutes. The Delhi Metro has a very high punctuality rate of 99.5 percent (2008). There is also the Rapid Metro line in Gurgaon, which formally does not belong to the Delhi Metro, but is connected to it and has a common tariff.

Stations

There are currently 200 stations both above and below ground. Most stations also have ATMs, kiosks, etc. Each station was given a distinctive design. The murals at the stations were designed by Indian university students.

Tickets

The following ticket options are available to users of the metro system:

  • Travel card : These cards are mainly used by daily commuters. They are valid for one year and can be topped up with 100 to 1000  rupees . A refundable deposit of 50 rupees is required for the card.
  • Tourist card : These cards allow unrestricted use of the metro for a certain period of time. There is a tourist card that is valid for one day and one that is valid for three days. The price is 100 or 250 rupees. The card deposit is also 50 rupees.
  • Tokens ( tokens ): These are valid for a single journey, whereby the price depends on the length of the journey. Depending on the route, a one-way ticket costs eight to 30 rupees.

The Airport Express line has a separate tariff, the following tickets are offered here:

  • Single trips from 20 to 100 rupees depending on the route
  • Smart card , rechargeable with various amounts of money; Students receive a 25 percent discount when using the smart card
  • Multi-trip tickets for ten, 45 or 60 trips within a month for daily commuters at significantly reduced prices

safety

Video surveillance, which is controlled from a central point, is particularly useful for security. In addition, security guards in civilian clothes are on the move in the metro, security checks with metal detectors and baggage screening take place at the stations; In addition, numerous, partly armed security forces are active on site. In an emergency, communication between the passengers in the wagons and the driver is guaranteed.

Wagon for women

The first (or the last on line 1, if applicable) of each train is reserved exclusively for use by women and children. This is particularly unusual for foreign passengers. Since the trains on all lines do not turn, but only sweep, the cars are not specially marked. Only on the platforms do signs point to the separate women's area. For men, its use represents an administrative offense that is punishable by a fine.

There have been plans for a metro network in Delhi since the 1970s, when increasing motorization led the traffic situation in the city to more and more traffic jams and more pollution from exhaust gases. The Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) therefore undertook in-depth studies of traffic flows in order to determine future developments and the specific need for a metro system. The recommendations of the CRRI were then examined by the Metropolitan Transport Team (MTT) of the Indian Railways , who developed a detailed concept for a Delhi Metro. It provided for two underground routes, in north-south and east-west directions, with a length of 36 kilometers, as well as further above-ground routes with a length of 96 kilometers. Thereupon the Indian Ministry of Railways launched the Metropolitan Transport Project , which was supposed to take care of the technical implementation.

Traffic planning was initially geared towards the needs up to 1981. Since an even higher volume of traffic was expected in the future, planning was extended to 2001. Until then, they wanted to build a system with a length of 58 kilometers underground and 195 kilometers above ground. As part of the feasibility studies, the city's subsoil was examined in detail in order to determine the best route. In 1984 a development plan was drawn up for Delhi, which provided for a 200-kilometer-long light rail network and a 10-kilometer tramway and an expansion of the existing railway network by 2001 . While the planning dragged on, the city expanded in the 1970s and 80s, especially in the west and east, so that an east-west connection was increasingly given priority. Initially, a magnetic levitation train was also thought of as a pilot project. Finally, they agreed on a three-part transport concept consisting of above-ground ( rail corridors ) and underground ( metro corridors ) sections and a bus network, resulting in a total route length of 184.5 kilometers, which was later to be extended to 198.5 kilometers.

Phase I.

The first construction work for the metro began on October 1, 1998, and on December 25, 2002, the first section of Line 1 between Shahdara and Tis-Hazari , after the opening ceremony by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee the day before, went into operation. In 2004 line 2 and in 2005 line 3 of the Delhier metro lines began operating.

Phase II

With the extension of line 3 to the southeastern suburb of Noida , which is located in the state of Uttar Pradesh , the city limits of Delhi were crossed for the first time at the end of 2009. The construction of this extension line began in early 2006. At the beginning of 2010 a branch line of line 3 to Anand Vihar was opened in the east of Delhi.

In September 2010, line 2 to the southwest suburb of Gurgaon , which is located in the neighboring state of Haryana , was completed. The total of 45 kilometers long “Yellow Line” runs 25 kilometers in the tunnel and 20 kilometers elevated; it represents an important north-south connection. The route, which was originally supposed to lead directly past the Qutub Minar , was led by Saket at a certain distance out of concern that the historical building could otherwise be impaired.

In April 2010, the standard-gauge, green line 5 ("Green Line") was opened from Inderlok, where it branches off from line 1 to the west, to Mundka. A few hours before the opening of the Commonwealth Games, the new, purple Line 6 opened on October 3, 2010 , which also has a train station at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium . It starts at the transfer station to the yellow line, Central Secretariat and leads 20 kilometers south to Badarpur station. This line is designed in standard gauge and has the densest cycle time to date at 160 seconds .

Only after the Commonwealth Games could the Airport Express be opened on February 23, 2011, eight months later than planned. This almost 23-kilometer line connects Indira Gandhi International Airport to the yellow line in New Delhi Railway Station in the northeast and to the blue line in Dwarka Sector 21 station to the west. This completes the first phase of the expansion of the metro network. The airport line was closed on July 8, 2012 due to technical construction errors; after the repair, operations are scheduled to resume for Diwali (November 13, 2012).

Phase III

Map with phase III extensions

In phase III, the lines that were previously oriented towards the center of Delhi are to be extended and supplemented with two ring lines (or partial rings) in order to relieve the central transfer hubs and to shorten travel times between the outer areas of the National Capital Region (e.g. between Noida and Gurgaon or Faridabad). Two new lines were planned for this. Line 7 largely follows Ring Road and provides access to the area close to the center. Line 8 follows the Outer Ring Road, opens up IGI Airport and shortens travel times between the southern and eastern suburbs of the National Capital Region.

The first part of line 8 between Botanical Garden and Kalkaji Mandir took place on December 25, 2018 and initially connects Noida with line 6 and shortens the travel time to Faridabad. The remaining section to Janakpuri West was opened on May 28, 2018. This means that you can also change to line 4 here.

The first section of Line 7 from Majlis Park to Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus opened on March 14, 2018. Further sections of Phase III are to be opened in the course of 2018.

With the opening of the extensions of line 1 from Dilshad Garden to Shaheed Shtal in Ghaziabad and line 3 from Noida City Center to Noida Electronic City on March 8, 2019, the main phase III projects have been completed. Only line 9 and the gap closure of line 7 at Trilokpuri are still missing.

Special achievements in the construction of the Delhi Metro are attributed to the engineer E. Sreedharan . The model for the Delhi Metro was the Metro in Kolkata , which uses the broad gauge common in India. Therefore, this gauge was initially also adopted for Delhi.

Expansion and planning

New routes, such as the Airport Express, are increasingly being used in standard gauge (1435 mm). Other newly built routes such as the extensions of Line 2 in the south to Gurgaon and in the north to Jahangir Puri were, however, still built in broad gauge.

Phase IV

After completion of the work on Phase III by the end of September 2017, a further 190 km of route will be built:

  • Janakpuri (West) -RK Ashram Marg, 28.92 km (extension of the outer ring of line 8 "Magenta"): The following stations are planned: Krishna Park Extn, Keshopur, Meera Bagh, Pashim Vihar, Peeragarhi Chowk, Peeragarhi Mangolpuri, West Enclave, Deepali Chowk, Madhuban Chowk, Rohini East, Prashant Vihar, North Pitampura, Haiderpur, Mukarba Chowk, Bhalaswa, Majlis Park, Azadpur, Ashok Vihar, Derawal Nagar, Rajpura, GG Sabji Mandi, Pulbangash, Sadar Bazar, NKabi Karim, N Ashram Marg
  • Lajpat Nagar-Saket G Block, 7.96 km (new line): Stations are Saket G Block, Sheikh Sarai, Chirag Deelhi, GK-1, Andrews Ganj, Lajpat Nagar. In March 2018, the proposed route was changed in order to open up the Chhatarpur district beyond Saket. The exact stations have not yet been determined.
  • Mukundpur-Maujpur, 12.54 km, (extension of line 7 to the other side of the Yamuna): The following stations are planned: Burari Crossing, Jagatpur Village, Surghat, KhajuriKhas, Bhajanpura, Yamuna Vihar, Maujpur.

These lines are believed to be economical (see below).

In addition, the following lines, the construction of which is questionable and which have been stopped for the time being:

  • Tughlakabad Terminal 1 (IGI Airport), 22.20 km (new line): The following stations are planned: Tughlabad, Tughlabad Railway Colony, Anandmayee Marg Junction, Tigri, Khanpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Saket G Block, Saket, Lado Sarai, Mehrauli , Kishangarh Masoodpur, Vasant Kunj (Sec-D), Mahipalpur, Delhi Aerocity, Terminal 1. The station at Terminal 1 was taken out of the planning at an early stage because the airport company is planning its own transport system between the terminals and the station is therefore superfluous.
  • Rithala-Narela, 21.73 km (extension of line 1 "Red"): Stations are Rohini Sec 26, Sec 31, Sec 32, Sec36, Sec37, Barwala, Pooth Khurd, Bawana Industrial Area 1, Bawana Industrial Area 2Bawana, Bawana JJ Colony, Sanpath, New Sanath Colony, Anaj Mandi, Narela.
  • Inderlok-Indraprastha, 12.57 km (new line): Stations are Dayabasti, Sarai Rohilla, Ajmal Khan Park, Nabi Karim, New Delhi, LNJP, Hospital Delhi Gate, IG Stadium, Indraprastha.

The Phase IV projects had not yet been confirmed by the Delhi government as of March 2018. One reason is the lack of commitment from the Union government, which has been exacerbated by a change in the tax policy of the Union government. The DMRC is therefore trying to split up the phase IV projects in order to receive a commitment for at least some of them. The extensions of the ring lines (Janakpuri West to RK Ashram and Mukundpur to Maujpur) and the new line from Tughlakabad to Terminal 1 of IGI Airport should be given priority. This is mainly justified by the fact that the construction companies that have carried out the previous tunnel construction work would otherwise withdraw from Delhi and the costs of the projects would increase with new construction companies. But there are also increasing voices who consider the projects to be partly uneconomical, because the lines also cover areas with only a small population or because the lines run parallel to other lines or open up only a few new areas.

In April 2018, the Delhi government confirmed that three of the six proposed routes are considered uneconomical and could become a financial burden in the future due to a lack of passenger numbers. Especially after the last fare increase in October 2017, the company is under pressure because the number of passengers has collapsed and is only recovering with difficulty. The execution of these lines is therefore questionable. In August 2018, too, no decision was made as to whether and when further expansion projects will be carried out. The executing construction companies are therefore withdrawing personnel and large construction equipment from Delhi.

Competition with other transport systems?

The Union government of India is planning, in cooperation with the federal government of the capital region (Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajastan), to set up a system similar to the S-Bahn, the RRTS (Regional Rail Transit System). This rail-bound system is intended to connect the capital with the neighboring cities and enable shorter travel times for longer distances thanks to the higher speed of the trains and greater distances between stations.

The following routes are planned in the first planning phase (as of March 2018):

  1. Delhi (Sarai Kale Khan - New Ashok Nagar - Anand Vihar) - Sahibabad - Ghaziabad (several stations) - Meerut (several stations) 90 km
  2. Delhi (Kashmere Gate - Mukarba Chowk - Narela MMTC - Kundli Border) - Sonepat (multiple stations) - Panepat (multiple stations) 111 km
  3. Delhi (Kashmere Gate - New Delhi Railway Station - Sarai Kale Khan - INA - Dhaula Kuan - Mahipalpur) - Gurgaon (Cyber ​​City, IFFCO Chowk - Kherki Dhaula) - Manesar - Bawal - Alwar 180 km

The route sections within Delhi and Gurgaon are to run largely underground, the remaining sections as elevated railways. In 2018, the Union government provided INR 6.59 billion for the planning. The planning should be so advanced that construction should start in mid-2018.

Above all, the planned extension of line 1 to Narela is in direct competition with the RRTS, especially as the route of the metro route via Bawana also makes a not inconsiderable detour - in contrast to the direct route of the RRTS between Kashmere Gate and Narela. The plans for the extension of Line 2 and the development of Gurgaon, z. B. from HUDA City Center to IGI airport would be much less favorable with the metro due to the many stations.

In June 2018, the route of the RRTS lines was rescheduled so that the stop in Narela would be omitted for the RRTS line to Panepat and the line from Narela would have been shifted to the east. This means that there would no longer be a competitive situation. The route for the RRT line to Alwar was also rescheduled in such a way that it would be possible to change to metro line 2 at Jor Bagh and line 8 at Munirka, and it would be possible to change to the airport at Aerocity.

Broad gauge

Broad gauge train of the first series (ROTEM / Mitsubishi) on line 1
Second series broad gauge train (Bombardier) on line 2
Standard gauge train (ROTEM / BEML) on line 6
Interior of the Airport Express (CAF)

The wagons were originally produced by a consortium in which the companies ROTEM , Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation were involved, but the conglomerate BEML has now taken over the construction of the wagons. The trains run on 1676 mm wide gauge, with the lightweight wagons made of stainless steel and 3.2 meters wide. A corridor allows passengers to walk the entire length of the train. Each train consists of four wagons and offers a total of 240 seats and 300 standing places. In view of the very warm Indian climate, the trains are equipped with an air conditioning system that maintains a constant temperature of max. 29 ° C guaranteed. The speed of travel of the trains is around 80 km / h and the trains stop at each station for around 20 seconds.

The second series of broad gauge trains was developed by Bombardier . Two of these trains, each consisting of four units, will be built in Görlitz and delivered by air, with the first part of such a train arriving in Delhi on February 26, 2009 on board an Antonov An-124 Ruslan . Other trains are being built at the Bombardier plant in India, some as six-car trains. The air conditioning system of the second series can have an internal temperature of max. Maintain 25 ° C.

Power is supplied by an overhead line at a voltage of 25 kV alternating current . In the underground section of the route, train and signaling operations are practically fully automated.

Standard gauge

A new type of vehicle is being procured for the new lines in standard gauge. These vehicles are also four-part (two control cars, two motor cars), look a bit more rounded and have a continuous windshield for the driver instead of the previous narrow front windows on the sides. In the interior, they offer the same space for passengers despite the narrower track width. The first train of this type was delivered by ship from South Korea and arrived in Delhi on March 16, 2009. It is now being checked on a specially constructed, one-kilometer test track at the Mundka depot. The other 47 examples of the new type of train will be produced - like the later examples of the first type - by the company BEML in Bangalore .

The Airport Express line is operated by eight six-car trains produced by Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles in Spain. Half a carriage is used to transport luggage, otherwise the trains have upholstered individual seats in a 2 + 2 arrangement, while the other metro lines mainly offer standing room, with longitudinal seats on the outer walls. Screens provide information about the next departures at the airport; the sound insulation has been improved on the airport trains. The maximum speed of the airport line is 135 km / h.
