DMRC Seeks Rs.6,200 Crore Budget

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has requested over  Rs.6,200 crore in its revised budget for the financial year 2024-25. This substantial funding is aimed at bolstering the urban transportation infrastructure in the National Capital Region, addressing the growing demands of commuters, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

The proposed budget will primarily focus on expanding the metro network, upgrading existing lines, and incorporating modern technologies to improve passenger services. The DMRC aims to enhance connectivity in key areas of Delhi and the surrounding regions, thereby reducing traffic congestion and promoting the use of public transportation.

Investing in the metro system is crucial, especially as Delhi continues to witness rapid urbanization. The additional funds are expected to facilitate the completion of ongoing projects and initiate new ones, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable urban transport ecosystem. Enhanced metro services are vital for alleviating pressure on roadways and reducing carbon emissions, aligning with the government's vision for a greener future.

In addition to expansion, the DMRC is committed to upgrading safety measures and implementing advanced systems for crowd management. These improvements aim to provide a seamless travel experience for commuters, ensuring their safety and comfort while using the metro services.

The request for the revised budget reflects the DMRC's proactive approach in planning for future demands and challenges in urban transportation. As the city grows, the focus on expanding and modernizing the metro network will be essential in supporting the mobility needs of Delhi's residents. The successful allocation of funds will mark a significant milestone in achieving a world-class metro system that meets the expectations of the city’s population.
