Have back-up arrangements to evacuate passengers in case of total power outage: Delhi Metro
Amid apprehensions of power supply disruptions in Delhi, the DMRC on Tuesday said Metro’s operational need accounts for only 2.5 per cent of the total power requirement of the city, and even if there is a total breakdown, passengers can be evacuated from trains and stations using back-up arrangements.
A Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) spokesperson, interacting with reporters on the sidelines of its 28th Foundation Day on Tuesday, also said the mass rapid transit system’s operations in Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) require around three million units of power per day.
