Cool Relief: Delhi Metro's Summer Service

06 Jun 2024 CW Team

Amidst the relentless summer heat, the Delhi Metro offers a vital respite with its extensive air-conditioned services. With temperatures in the city often soaring beyond 40?C, these cool, comfortable rides are indispensable for the daily commuters.

Delhi Metro operates over 4,200 train trips each day, all meticulously maintained to ensure a steady 24?C inside. This is achieved through rigorous pre-summer maintenance checks on more than 5,000 air conditioning units, guaranteeing optimal performance during peak summer months.

The underground stations also play a crucial role in providing a cool environment. Advanced monitoring systems maintain temperatures between 25?C and 27?C, ensuring a pleasant experience for passengers. These efforts are particularly significant during the sweltering May-June period when heatwaves are most intense.

Commuters have shown immense appreciation for these services, as reflected in the record number of passenger journeys. May 2024 witnessed a remarkable surge, surpassing pre-pandemic levels, highlighting the dependence of Delhi?s populace on the metro for reliable and comfortable travel.

This blend of efficient service and commuter comfort underscores Delhi Metro's commitment to quality. The meticulous attention to detail in maintaining and monitoring the air conditioning systems ensures that passengers can escape the extreme heat, making their daily commute not just bearable but pleasant.
