Delhi Metro

In India's National Capital Region, the Delhi Metro is a mass rapid transit (MRT) system that serves the capital city of Delhi as well as its satellite cities of Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Noida, Bahadurgarh, and Ballabhgarh. Ten colored lines serving 255 stations make up the network. Despite the fact that there are a total of 285 stations, it is important to remember that transfer stations are counted multiple times. There will be 229 stations overall if 24 transfer stations are counted just once. According to figures from 2018, Delhi Metro, the eighth-longest metro system in the world with a total length of 389 kilometers, had more than 900 million yearly riders.

It's interesting to note that the Delhi Metro Railway Corporation received approval from the UN in 2011 to become the first metro system to minimize carbon emissions in the city in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is not surprising that the nation, which has a population of more than 1 billion, has taken such efforts, considering the high rate of usage of the subway, and has taken drastic measures to protect the environment.

The Rapid Metro Gurgaon (which uses a shared ticketing system) and Noida Metro have interchanges with the Delhi Metro as well. On October 22, 2019, DMRC assumed control of the financially precarious Rapid Metro Gurgaon.
