The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is set to enhance its infrastructure by installing 'Made-in-India' platform screen doors (PSDs) in its upcoming Phase IV and V expansions. This decision marks a significant shift towards local manufacturing, as DMRC has invited expressions of interest from Indian manufacturers, moving away from its previous reliance on imported systems. The initiative is in line with directives from the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, which mandates that all metro systems incorporate at least 75% local manufacturing content in their procurements. Currently, out of 303 operational stations across a 416 km network, only 83 have half-height PSDs, and just eight feature full-height doors. The new platform screen doors will be installed at underground stations as full-height doors and as half-height doors at elevated stations. This upgrade is expected to improve passenger safety by preventing accidents on the tracks, managing crowd flow during peak hours, and enhancing air conditioning efficiency in underground stations. The move is also anticipated to create new opportunities for Indian manufacturers and reduce dependency on foreign suppliers.
