First train for Delhi Metro’s phase 4 arrives, marks transit expansion milestone

The first train for Delhi Metro's Phase 4 project arrived at Mukundpur depot for testing on Friday. This signalled a major step forward in expanding the city’s urban transit system. The train, built under the Make in India initiative, promises faster, driverless commutes for passengers.

Manufactured at Alstom’s facility in Sricity in Chennai, the train set was inaugurated on September 23. This is the first of 52 trains under the RS-17 contract.

A significant portion of these trains will serve the extended Pink and Magenta Lines, while the rest will run on the new Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor.
