Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has established a wholly owned subsidiary, Delhi Metro International Limited, to expand its consultancy, operations and maintenance business in India and overseas. The move seeks to leverage more than two decades of experience in building and operating one of the world's largest metro networks. The corporation said the new unit will pursue contracts that extend DMRC's engineering and project management capabilities beyond the National Capital Region.

Delhi Metro International will provide end to end services for metro, railway and urban transit projects, including consultancy, project management, operations and maintenance, feasibility studies, asset management and strategic advisory services. The company framed the offering as covering planning, implementation and long term operational support for transit systems. The subsidiary structure is intended to present integrated solutions to governments and transit authorities.

DMRC currently operates a network of more than 416 kilometres with over 300 stations and handles nearly 6.5 million passenger journeys daily, the corporation noted. The experience gained in planning, constructing and operating the network is expected to enable Delhi Metro International to support transit projects across their entire lifecycle. DMRC already manages operations and maintenance for metro systems in several Indian cities, including Mumbai Metro Line 3, Chennai Metro Phase 2, Patna Metro, Noida Greater Noida Metro and Rapid Metro Gurugram, underlining its growing presence beyond the capital.

Delhi Metro International is expected to strengthen DMRC's presence in the global urban mobility sector by offering integrated engineering, operational and advisory services. The corporation intends to leverage its expertise in areas such as driverless metro operations, predictive maintenance and multimodal integration to deliver comprehensive mobility solutions. The launch reflects a broader trend of Indian infrastructure firms exporting engineering and project management expertise to international markets in urban transport.
