Delhi Metro's Blue Line earns carbon neutral certification

The Blue Line of the Delhi Metro, connecting Yamuna Bank to Vaishali in Ghaziabad, has received carbon neutral certification, highlighting the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation’s (DMRC) efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and combat climate change.

Officials noted that this achievement follows earlier certifications for DMRC’s corporate headquarters at Metro Bhawan and staff quarters in Sector-50, Noida. The initiative aligns with India’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, marking another step in DMRC’s journey toward environmental sustainability.

DMRC has implemented several eco-friendly practices to minimise its carbon footprint. These include adopting regenerative braking technologies in its trains, increasing the use of renewable energy sources, constructing rainwater harvesting systems, and setting up efficient waste management solutions.

Beyond securing certifications, DMRC aims to inspire other urban transport systems to embrace similar sustainable practices, setting a benchmark for environmentally responsible operations. "Our efforts reflect our commitment to sustainable urban mobility," said an official. (ET)
