Delhi metro is the world’s 12th longest metro system in length and 16th largest ridership
The Government of India and the Government of Delhi jointly set up the Delhi Metro
Rail Corporation(DMRC) in 1995.
Construction Started in 1998
1. The first section, on the RED Line,opened in 2002
2. Followed by Yellow Line in 2004
3. The Blue Line in 2005,its branch line in 2009
4. The Green and violet in 2010
5. The Delhi Airport Metro Express in 2011
A Company under the name DMRC was Registered on 30/05/1995 under the
companies act for construction and operation of the metro project.
The Government of India and the Government of Delhi jointly set up a company
called Delhi Metro Rail Corporation(DMRC) on March 5,1995 with E.Sreedharan as the
Managing Director.
It started functioning in November ,1997.It appointed General consultant in
August,1998 to assist them for implementation of the project. It is having 140 stations in
the Rail Corridor (underground).It has a combination of Elevated, at-grade and
underground lines and uses both broad gauge and standard gauge rolling stock
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has been Certified by the United Nations as the first
Metro Rail and Rail based system in the world to get “carbon credits for reducing
geenhouse gas emissions”.
The pollution level is reduced to about 50%.
FINANCE AND FUNDING

CORRECTIVE
a) Punctuality: The Delhi Metro considers a trip as delayed if it incurs delay of more than 2
minutes. The delay is calculated at the terminal station. The punctuality percentage of any
line for the day is derived using following method: Punctuality % = (Number of trips run
on time/Number of trips run actually)*100 Where, Number of trips run actually =(No. of
trips planned as per timetable+ No of trips run additional)-No. of trips cancelled.
b) Car KM: All car km which were actually operated in revenue (passenger carrying)
service
c) Percentage of cars used during peak hours: Total number of cars in use in the
weekday peak hour as % of total cars available.
d) Ridership (Passenger Journey): Total number of passengers travelled on the metro
including Token, Card and Group booking users
e) Passenger Earning: Total revenue from Fare Box collection.
f) Passenger KM: Total distance travelled by each passenger on metro trains, summed-up
for all passengers.
g) Car Hours: Actual time in which each car is operating in revenue (passenger carrying)
service, summed-up for all cars.
h) De-boarding: Train withdrawn from service and passengers need to be deboarded en-
route from the train due to failure.
i) Trips run on time: Number of trips run as per scheduled time. 80,875 (Jan 2013) DMRC
have not yet started following the KPI as per international benchmarks and they are in the
process of implementing such system.
Fare Box system is the most important revenue generation source for a Metro Railway
System. The Manning of ticket windows is been done by outsourced staff. Problems of under
vending, improper equipment handling because of frequent change of staff, loss of token and
high attrition rate of outsourced staff have been encountered. The measures such as training
of the outsourced staff, constant monitoring& Counseling, incentives for good performance
and penalties for lack of performance, have alleviated the problem to some extent. The use of
automatic ticket vending machine on a large scale will reduce the work load on ticket
windows and dependence on outsourced staff.
TRAIN OVERVIEW
The first wave of rolling stock was manufactured by a consortium comprising Hyundai Rotem,
Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. Initial sets were built by ROTEM in
South Korea, with later examples completed in India by public sector undertaking Bharat Earth
Movers Limited (BEML). BEML is also responsible for the manufacturing coaches under
technology transfer agreement. The manufacturing is under progress.
The air-conditioned trains consist of four 3.2m-wide, stainless steel, lightweight, although eight
is possible. The trains have automatic doors, secondary air suspension and brakes controlled by
microprocessor.
Delhi Metro has a fleet of 280 coaches, which DMRC runs as 210 trains every day. Each train
can accommodate about 2,290 people, 240 seated. Maximum speed is 80km/h (50mph), with a
20-second dwell time at stations. Train depots are located at Khyber Pass, Najafgarh, Shastri
Park and Yamuna Bank.
In May 2011, BEML received a contract worth Rs9.2bn ($205m) from DMRC to supply 136
intermediate metro cars. The delivery is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
In March 2008 Bombardier Transportation announced an €87m ($137m) contract for 84 MOVIA
metro cars, a follow-on to an order for 340 placed in July 2007. The new vehicles were deployed
as part of the Phase II expansion.
In September 2011, Bombardier received a $120m order for 76 additional MOVIA metro cars.
This was a follow-on contract to an order placed for 114 vehicles in the middle of 2010.
Deliveries under the new order were completed in 2012.
DMRC received the first MOVIA metro car from Germany in February 2009. The first 36
vehicles were manufactured in Goerlitz, Germany, and the remaining 388 cars were built at
Bombardier’s Indian manufacturing facility in Savli, South Gujarat.
In October 2012, Bombardier delivered the 600th MOVIA metro car to the DMRC.
BROAD GAUGE
The broad Gauge rolling stock is manufactured by two major suppliers Hyundai Rotem ,
Mitsubishi Corporation and MELCO . The coaches were initially built in South Korea by
ROTEM

HVAC
a) PURPOSE
The primary function of the Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) unit is to
achieve and maintain the acceptable indoor climate and air quality for the driver in the cab area.
Type DT car has additional air conditioning unit for providing sufficient cooling for the drivers
cabin. Each Saloon Air conditioning (A/C) unit has a normal cooling capacity of 41 Kw under
design conditions i.e. 82 kW per vehicle.
Secondary functions are:
to protect the driver from smoke in case of smoke outside the train, and
to keep CO2 level inside the train in its specified limit, as and when the auxiliary
power fails (emergency ventilation).
There are two compact HVAC units per car. The units are identical and totally
interchangeable. One end of the unit is a compressor/condenser section, whereas the other is an
air handling section with evaporator, electrical heater, supply air fan, dampers etc. Electrical
installations, controller and emergency inverter are integrated in the unit.
Fresh air is sucked in through weather grilles on the side of the unit. There is a fresh air damper
to close the fresh air intake for fire mode and pre-cooling/heating mode.
Return air is sucked from the bottom of the unit and mixed with the fresh air before passing
evaporator and heater and then blown out into the duct by the supply air fan. The return air
intake has a damper to control the return air flow and to close the return air intake during
emergency ventilation.
The air velocity through the evaporator and heater is kept low enough to prevent condense water
from being blown away from the evaporator.
Condenser air is sucked in from both sides of the unit, through the condensers inside each inlet
grill and blown out upwards.

a) Compressor
There are four hermetic Copeland scroll compressors (ZRXM) per unit. Refrigerant used is
R407C.
The refrigerating output is produced by four scroll compressors in each unit and is powered
directly by the 3-phase auxiliary supply.
Refrigerant vapour returning from the evaporator at low pressure enters the compressor, which
compresses it. The refrigerant exits the compressor as a high pressure, high temperature
superheated gas via the compressor’s discharge valves and flows to the condenser coils.
The compressor used in the refrigerating system is of a scroll type (ZR72KCE-TFD-422). The
compressor delivers all the superior benefits of advanced scroll technology, such as:
-Quiet operation
- Unmatched reliability with 70% fewer moving parts than comparably sized reciprocating
compressors
- Greater capacity at handling liquid and debris in the system
- High efficiency performance.
The compressor includes a temperature probe to protect the motor against failures caused by
overheating of the windings, which may be as a result of the lack of gas or excessive starting
cycles.
The compressor is mounted in the compressor-condenser chamber, between the two condenser
fans. Each compressor is equipped with four vibration dampers to avoid the transmission of the
vibration and reduce the noise.
b) Condenser
HVAC saloon system consists of two condensers per unit.
Condenser consists of the coil which is made of copper tubes and Aluminium fins.
A condenser fan draws the ambient air and blows it through the condenser coils. The condenser
rejects heat to the ambient air from the high temperature refrigerant gas which is being pumped
from the compressor. As the heat is rejected from the coil the refrigerant gas cools and condenses
into a liquid refrigerant.
c) Condenser fan
Condenser fan consists of fan blade, motor and grille. To ensure a high heat transfer in the
condenser coil , two axial fan-motor assemblies draw “cool” ambient air from the top of the
HVAC units and then discharge the hot air back to ambient through the condenser coils in the
two sides of the HVAC unit.
Each condenser fan assembly contains a 415 VAC, 3 phase, 50 Hz motor (1440 RPM), which
supports a five bladed (710 mm diameter) axial fan fitted in a precision hub and operating in a
close-fitting ring . It must be noted that the grille cannot be walked on.
d) Solenoid valve
Solenoid valve is used in liquid pipe after sight glass/moisture indicator and before the expansion
valve. Solenoid valve is used for controlling the open and close of refrigerant flow. The valve is
commonly used to replace a manual valve or where remote control is desirable. The valve
improves system efficiency and maintains the refrigerant charge in the condenser coil during the
off-cycle of the compressor which prevents refrigerant migration when long piping runs are used.
If one of the refrigerating circuit is shut off, solenoid valve can be operated on the half cold
mode. Solenoid valve can also be used for protection of HVAC unit in emergency.
e) Filter dryer
Filter dryer is mounted on the liquid line after the condenser and before the sight glass/moisture
indicator. The filter dryer removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant
f) Sight glass
The sight glass is used in refrigerating circuit to observe the refrigerant flow and to provide an
accurate method of determining the moisture content of a system’s refrigerant. Humidity
indication is obtained compared to paper indicators.
g) Expansion valve
Expansion valve is located after the solenoid valve and close to evaporator. Expansion valve is
used in refrigerating circuit as throttle component. It can open to a certain degree according to
the superheat of the outlet of evaporator. Expansion valve is mounted after filter dryer, so the
potential debris in refrigerating circuit is filtered first. Through the expansion valve, the high
temperature, high pressure refrigerant liquid changed to low temperature, low pressure
refrigerant mixture of gas and liquid.
h) PLC controller
The heart of the control system for the air conditioning unit is programmable logic control
(PLC).Using a control program stored in the PLC’s memory, the PLC close or open electrical
circuits connected to its outputs depending on the status of inputs. When a component in the
system fails, the PLC diagnoses the problem and isolates the failed component.
PLC
i) Evaporator
The evaporator is made of stainless steel frame with copper tubes and aluminium fins.The drain
pan is made of stainless steel and the fins have 3 mm pitch.
The liquid refrigerant is vaporized in the evaporator coil at a controlled rate and temperature. The
low-pressure and low temperature refrigerant in the evaporator coil absorbs heat from the air sucked
across the coil by the supply air fan. The air, which is a mixture of the return air and the fresh air passes
through the evaporator coils and is cooled and dehumidified, is delivered into the car saloon evenly.
k) Heating
Electrical heating is placed downstream from the evaporator. The heating battery has two
overheat protection devices, one with automatic reset and one with manual reset. The latter is
independent of the control system.
l) Emergency inverter
In the event of the on–board 415 V AC supply system failing, then the cooling of the passenger
saloon supply air is no longer possible. Therefore, in order to maintain the supply of fresh air to
the passenger compartment, an emergency inverter per HVAC unit mounted inside the HVAC
unit is activated. Electrical power from the batteries feeds the HVAC evaporator fans via the
converter. Under this condition no recirculated air is supplied back to the saloon.
m) Mode selection switch
The mode switch S01 is located in the underside of the HVAC unit, near the return air inlet, there
is an A/C system “Mode selection switch”. The switch allows the operator to select the mode of
the HVAC unit from the following 3 modes:
•“OFF”
•”ON”
• “TEST”.
b) Emergency mode
In case of loss of auxiliary power, the supply air fans are fed from batteries via an inverter.
In this mode:
heating and cooling is shut off
the fresh air damper opens to reduce the pressure drop
the return air damper closes to keep 100% fresh air.
c) RAP mode
In case Reduced Auxiliary Power (RAP), one unit continues to operate in normal mode whereas
the other unit operates in ventilation mode with the fresh air damper closed.
d) Pre-cooling mode
In pre-cooling mode, the fresh air intake is closed and use recirculated air until a defined indoor
temperature is reached.
e) Pre-heating mode
In pre-heating mode, the fresh air intake is closed and use recirculated air until a defined indoor
temperature is reached.
f) Off mode
In off mode, the units receive an off signal and shuts off.
g) Smoke outside mode
If smoke is detected by the smoke sensor or the driver activates this mode, the supply air fan of
the unit stops immediately and the fresh air damper close. After the fresh air damper is closed the
unit will start again but only recirculate air.
i) Start up self-test
Startup self-test is performed every time a unit is powered up. The controller checks
communication, sensors, dampers, functions etc. The result of the test is sent to TCMS.
j) Test mode
Test mode is manually set from the HMI display or with a service computer connected to the
controller. During “test mode” the HVAC unit runs in heating or cooling mode depending on the
atmospheric condition. In test mode the unit runs for 15 minutes.
BRAKES AND PNEUMATICS
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the brake system is to effectively stop the train or to reduce its speed, as and
when necessary, while the train is moving and also to keep the train in static position once the
train is stopped or parked.
The vehicle has a computer controlled braking system. The braking system consists of an
electro-dynamic brake and an electro-pneumatic friction brake.
The dynamic brake brakes the vehicle by running the motors as generators and return energy via
the overhead line network during braking. Only motor cars can utilize this brake.
The electro-pneumatic brake concept comprises a direct acting, microprocessor controlled,
friction brake system with wheel mounted brake discs on the motor car and axle mounted discs
on the trailer cars and the accompanying brake calliper units.
The M-car has two motor bogies and the DT- and T-cars have two trailer bogies each. The motor
bogie has both dynamic and friction brakes while the trailer bogies have only friction brake.
Disc brace units with callipers acting on each wheel carry out friction braking. One wheel per
wheelset has a parking brake function. Brake effort can be blended and over (compensated)
between dynamic and friction brake systems.
Service brake
Emergency brake
Back-up brake
Holding brake
Parking brake
Wheel slide protection
a) Service brake
The service brake is the normal way to brake the train. The service brake is achieved by use of
the dynamic and friction brake system. The total amount of brake effort needed to brake each car
is calculated in the train computer using the car weight and the requested retardation.
Normal service brake has a jerk rate limitation
b) Emergency brake
The function of the emergency brake is to achieve as short braking distance as possible and it
provides the safest way to brake the train. The emergency brake system uses only friction brake.
Once applied, the emergency brake cannot be released until the train has come to complete stop.
It is mainly activated via the emergency stop push button on the driver's desk or the ATO/ATP
system but can also be activated by putting the master controller to emergency stop position.
Additionally the emergency brake can be activated at all time by de-energising the safety loop.
The safety loop is designed to be energised when all systems are OK and the train is energised.
In order to energise the safety loop, only one driver's key must be activated, the emergency stop
push button must not be applied and all supervised computers and the ATP-system must be
activated. If two driver's keys are activated at the same time, the safety loop will be broken. This
also applies when the key is in OFF position.
The emergency brake has no jerk rate limitation.
c) Back-up brake
The back-up brake is used in towing situations and in case of failure of electronic or electric
control elements in the brake system.
d) Holding brake
The holding brake is applied automatically when the train is stopping and the master controller is
in its centre position (coast), for example, when stopping at a station. It is initiated by the TCMS
just before stop and at stop using friction brakes only. The brake is load compensated and applies
a suitable brake force to hold the train on a slope. The holding brake also prevents the train from
rolling backwards during a start on a gradient.
The holding brake implements rollback protection which applies the brake if the train moves in
the unintended direction.
The holding brake is released when a certain amount of traction is achieved.
e) Parking brake
The parking brake prevents the train from rolling when the train is deactivated. Parking brake is
applied in the event of low (or no) pressure in the brake reservoir or by the push button in the
cab. When no main reservoir pressure is present, the parking brake is fully applied and is capable
of holding a fully loaded train at standstill at a gradient of 4%.
The parking brakes can be released by the push button when the compressed air supply is
present. With no air supply available, it is possible to release individual parking brake units
manually by a tool fitted in the parking brake cylinder.
III. Wheel Slide Protection
The purpose of the wheel slide protection system is to prevent the wheel from locking and to
prevent slide of the wheel during brake application. This decreases the stopping distance and
increases the life of the wheel.
The BCU controls each car's wheel slide protection system. There is a phonic wheel and speed
sensor to measure the speed of the axle, if the speed of any axle is exceeding the specified speed
limit, the BCU operates the dump valve to obtain an acceptable adhesion value.
The train control and management system, TCMS, is the system for controlling and monitoring
on board systems and subsystems.
The TCMS is a distributed computer system, where the units are placed close to the systems they
control or supervise in order to keep cabling to a minimum.
The TCMS HMI displays are used for real-time reporting of the different systems current status
and performance, faults and failures of control functions. The HMI displays are located in the
driver’s cab. Events are displayed differently depending on the priority of the event. Higher
priority events always take precedence over events of lower priority.
The on board part of the train diagnostic system, TDS, is a sub-system of the TCMS. The CCU-
O (Central Computing Unit – Operational) collects, stores and acts upon relevant information
about events, faults and vehicle status from the connected systems. The event information stored
in the TDS database is presented on a colour touch screen, the HMI display on the driver's desk
and can be uploaded to an off board maintenance and service system for long term storage and
additional off line analysis.
The redundant concept is of type leader/follower. There are two CCU-Os (pair) in each 2-car unit
implementing redundancy with warm standby. In case the leader CCU-O fails the follower CCU-
O takes over leadership. Both leader and follower are receiving and acting upon all signals but
only the leader has control. If the leader fails the follower becomes the new leader and takes over
the control.
