Delhi (Metro Rail News): Delhi Metro Phase 4 progressed as DMRC conducted trials on the Pink Line Extensions spanning 12.098 km between Majlis Park and Maujpur.
This development was recorded under Delhi Metro Phase 4’s package DC-02. This contract was awarded to Longjian – KEC JV by DMRC at Rs. 1,080 crore in November 2019
About the Trials on Delhi Metro’s Pink Line Extension
The trials have been conducted between a 5km section from Majlis Park to Jagatpur Village, comprising 3 elevated stations at Burari, Jharoda Majra and Jagatpur Village.
To execute the trial DMRC deployed a 6-coach Hyundai Rotem train at a speed of 5 kmph. During the trial the train ran from the siding line at Majlis Park Station, heading eastward and then returned.
Aim Behind Trials
Through trials, DMRC’s main objective was that trains operated within the prescribed Schedule of Dimensions (SOD) clearances. This involved examining the train’s interaction with the civil structure. The goal was to confirm that there were no physical obstructions that could affect the train’s safe operations, ensuring full compliance with safety standards.
Delhi Metro Phase 4
With the Central Government’s approval of the Red Line extension from Rithala to Nathupur (Kundli), covering a distance of 26.463 km, the total length of the Delhi Metro Phase 4 project has now increased to 112.32 km. The Delhi metro Phase 4 includes development of a new corridor (Golden Line) spanning between Aerocity – Tughlakabad and extension of the existing Pink Line, Red Line, Green Line and Magenta Line.
