To help cater to an increase in passengers, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is set to run its first set of two 8-coach trains on Tuesday. This will be introduced first on the Red Line (Line-1, i.e.. Rithala to Shaheed Sthal New Bus Adda) and be gradually rolled out on all routes, news agency ANI reported.
The conversion of 6-coach trains to 8-coach trains on the Red Line is being done in a graded manner to ensure that there is no impact on the regular passenger services. The same is expected to be completed by 2024, Livemint said in its report.
The Red Line is the oldest and one of the busiest routes of the Delhi metro network.
