DMRC Revises Phase 4 Plan to Save 69 Trees in Construction Area

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has revised its Phase 4 construction plans to preserve 69 trees that were originally set to be removed. This decision highlights DMRC?s commitment to environmental sustainability amidst extensive urban development projects.

The modification comes after significant feedback from environmentalists and local communities concerned about the ecological impact of the metro expansion. The new plan incorporates tree-saving measures and reforestation efforts to mitigate the impact on green spaces.

The Phase 4 extension of the Delhi Metro network aims to enhance connectivity across the city, but it has faced scrutiny over its environmental footprint. By adjusting construction strategies, DMRC has demonstrated a proactive approach to balancing urban growth with ecological preservation.

The updated plan involves redesigning certain segments of the metro line and incorporating advanced construction techniques that minimise damage to surrounding vegetation. In addition to preserving existing trees, DMRC will also undertake a replanting initiative to bolster green cover in the affected areas.

These changes reflect a growing trend among infrastructure projects in India, where environmental considerations are increasingly being integrated into planning and execution stages. DMRC?s efforts are expected to set a precedent for future urban development projects, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices in infrastructure growth.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
