DMRC driverless train operations

DMRC’s driverless trains has helped in improving the availability of coaches for service. It also eliminates the manual process of checking done before induction, subsequently reducing burden on train operators.

“After the completion of Phase 4, when driverless operations will be available on the extensions of the Pink and Magenta Lines as well as on the Aerocity – Tughalakabad Silver line (now Golden Line), DMRC shall become the world’s second largest driverless Metro network with 160 kilometres of DTO equipped corridors,” the DMRC said in a statement on November 25, 2022.
