Explanation:
Delhi Metro is the largest and busiest rapid transit system in India connecting the country’s capital region with satellite cities.
The metro system is operated by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), a public sector company established by the Government of India and the Government of Delhi in March 1995. The project was developed in multiple phases. Phase one (65.11km) and phase two (124.9km) are completed, while phase three is currently underway. A phase four is also planned with works expected to begin in 2020.
The Delhi Metro project became the first railway project in the world to be certified for carbon credits for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by the United Nations in 2011. DMRC saved 112.5GW of power by using regenerative brakes in the trains and reduced carbon emissions by 630,000t a year.
