DMRC: Delhi to house India's first National Metro Rail Knowledge Centre

In New Delhi, the creation of the first National Metro Rail Knowledge Centre is underway.

GA Infra has been given the contract by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for the facility's design and construction.

Near a projected cost of Rs 460 million, the centre will be built under a public-private partnership (PPP) model and would be located at the Vishwavidyalaya Metro Station in Delhi.

At the Patel Chowk station in Delhi, the DMRC already operates a metro museum where it has technology and models on exhibit that seek to chart the growth of the Delhi Metro from an 8 km network in 2002 to around 390 km across Delhi in 2021.

In order to demonstrate the expansion of the metro networks and transit systems in numerous cities across India, the National Metro Rail Knowledge Centre has been suggested.

The building is intended to serve as a hub for information and innovation for the Indian Metro train networks. It will give all parties involved a platform for dialogue and collaboration.

India's metro rail sector has seen significant growth as a result of the opening of various new metro projects around the country.

Numerous metro projects have been proposed and planned to accommodate the growth of different Indian cities, and they are now in the pipeline.

Various small and big cities in India have successfully integrated the metro into their comprehensive transportation ecosystems thanks to the advent of new technology and metro variants.

This will be a crucial building that serves as a resource centre for the metro's expansion.

The centre's mission is to educate stakeholders and the general public about construction, operations of facilities, and the most recent advances. It will give people a place to network and share their experiences, innovations, and best practices.

The centre will additionally act as a hub for research and development activities. This will give the resources needed for future metro system growth in terms of construction, services, and technological advancements.
