The network consists of six lines with a total length of 189.63
kilometres (117.83 mi) with 142 stations of which 35 are underground,
five are at-grade and rest are elevated. It has a combination of
elevated, at-grade and underground lines and uses both broad gauge
and standard gauge rolling stock. Four types of rolling stock are used:
Mitsubishi-ROTEM Broad gauge, Bombardier MOVIA, Mitsubishi-ROTEM
Standard gauge and CAF Beasain Standard gauge.
Delhi Metro is being built and operated by the Delhi Metro Rail
Corporation Limited .As of November 2010, DMRC operates around
2,700 trips daily between 6:00 and 23:00 running with an interval
of 2 minutes 30 seconds between trains at peak frequency. The
trains are mainly of four coaches, but due to increase in passengers
numbers, six-coach trains are also added on the Yellow Line
(Jahangirpuri to HUDA city centre),
Blue Line (Dwarka sec -21 to Vaishali/NOIDA city centre)
and Violet Line (Central Secretariat to Badarpur).
The power output is supplied by 25-kilovolt, 50 Hertz alternating current through overhead
catenary. The metro has an average daily ridership of 1.8 million
commuters, and, as of July 2011, had carried over 1.25 billion
commuters since its inception. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
has been certified by the United Nations as the first metro rail
and rail-based system in the world to get “carbon credits for reducing
greenhouse gas emissions” and helping in reducing pollution
levels in the city by 630,000 tons (630 Gg) every year.
Planning for the metro started in 1984, when the Delhi Development
Authority and the Urban Arts Commission came up with a proposal for
developing a multi-modal transport system for the city. The Government
of India and the Government of Delhi jointly set up the Delhi Metro
Rail Corporation (DMRC) in 1995. Construction started in the 1998, and
the first section, on the Red Line, opened in 2002, followed by the
Yellow Line in 2004, the Blue Line in 2005, its branch line in 2009,
the Green and Violet Lines in 2010 and the Delhi Airport Metro Express
in 2011.
