The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has started refurbishing 70 old trains, which were procured before 2007, with modern amenities such as LCD route maps, charging points and CCTV cameras midway through their life cycle. Officials said 10 trains, each of which is around two decades old, will be completely refurbished by September 2022.
DMRC managing director Mangu Singh on Monday unveiled the first train refurbished as part of this project. The train, officials said, was procured in 2002 as part of the first Metro network phase.
The Delhi Metro currently has around 350 trains, including the 70 which are over 14-years-old.
