a Popular Means of Public Transportation

Delhi Mass Rapid Transport System (Delhi Metro) Project

JICA has long been cooperating on the Delhi Mass Rapid Transport System Project with ODA Loans. The project is designed to construct the Delhi Metro, a mass rapid transport system made up of underground and elevated corridors in Delhi, the capital city of India. Technologies and products of Japanese companies have also been introduced in this metro network that extensively covers the Delhi metropolitan area. JICA will continue to extend cooperation to Delhi Metro, which is proactive in introducing women-only cars and priority seats and is contributing to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
