Rapid transit systems in India include metro, monorail and light rail networks. The first was the Kolkata Metro in 1984. Delhi Metro, which began operations in 2002, was India's first modern metro. Rapid transit systems are now under construction or planning in major cities across India to help address issues of congestion, pollution, and accidents from increasing vehicle numbers. The Delhi Metro is the largest and most extensive metro system in India, with six lines spanning 189 kilometers and 142 stations. It has helped reduce traffic and fuel consumption in Delhi significantly.

*A rapid transit system is a public transport
system in an urban area with high capacity,
high frequency not needing timetables, is fast
and is segregated from other traffic. Operating
on an exclusive right of way, rapid transit
systems are typically grade separated and
located either in underground tunnels
(subways) or elevated above street level
(elevated transit line).

*Rapid Transit in India consists of metro,
monorail and light rail systems. The first rapid
transit system in India was the Kolkata Metro,
which started operations in 1984. The Delhi
Metro was India's first modern metro and the
third rapid transit system in India overall, after
Kolkata Metro and Chennai mass rapid transit
system,(Chennai MRTS), beginning operations
in 2002. Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon, which starts
operations in September 2013, will be India's
first privately owned and operated metro.

*in 2009, it was decided to invest INR2000
billion (US$30.6 billion) on metro rail projects
in the following ten years. It is planned that all
Indian cities having population more that 2
million will have metro rail system. Currently,
rapid transit systems have been under
construction in 7 cities and 16 cities in
planning in several major cities of India.

*Planning for the metro started in 1984, when
the Delhi Development Authority and the Urban
Arts Commission came up with a proposal for
developing a multi-modal transport system for
the city. The Government of India and the
Government of Delhi jointly set up the Delhi
Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) registered on 3
May 1995 under the Companies Act, 1956.
Construction started in 1998, and the first
section, on the Red Line, opened in 2002

*Delhi Metro recorded its highest ever ridership figure
of 2,606,364 on 19 August 2013 which surpassed the
earlier record set on 08 August 2013, when 2,504,900
people travelled by the Metro.
*Currently, DMRC has a pool of 200 train sets with 69 of
these being six coach formations. At present, the Delhi
Metro is operational on six lines where more than 2500
train trips are made each day traversing over 69000
km in a day. With Phase-III of the network expected to
cover about 108 km, the Delhi Metro network will
become 295 km by 2016, making it one of the fastest
expanding Metro networks in the world carrying about
4 million passengers.

*The Metro uses rolling stock of two different
gauges. Phase I lines use 1,676 mm (5.499 ft)
broad gauge rolling stock, while three Phase II
lines use 1,435 mm (4.708 ft) standard gauge
rolling stock. Trains are maintained at seven
depots at Khyber Pass and Sultanpur for the
Yellow Line, Mundka for the Green Line,
Najafgarh and Yamuna Bank for the Blue Line,
Shastri Park for the Red Line, and Sarita Vihar
for the Violet Line.

*These trains consist of four 3.2-metre (10 ft) wide
stainless steel lightweight coaches with vestibules
permitting movement throughout their length and
can carry up to 1500 passengers, with 50 seated and
330 standing passengers per coach. The coaches are
fully air conditioned, equipped with automatic
doors, microprocessor-controlled brakes and
secondary air suspension, and are capable of
maintaining an average speed of 32 km/h (20 mph)
over a distance of 1.1 km (0.68 mi). The system is
extensible up to eight coaches, and platforms have
been designed accordingly.

*The standard gauge rolling stock is manufactured by
BEML at its factory in Bangalore. The trains are
four-car consists with a capacity of 1506 commuters
per train, accommodating 50 seated and 292
standing passengers in each coach. These trains will
have CCTV cameras in and outside the coaches,
power supply connections inside coaches to charge
mobiles and laptops, better humidity control,
microprocessor-controlled disc brakes, and will be
capable of maintaining an average speed of 34
km/h (21 mph) over a distance of 1.1 km (0.68 mi).

*The Total saving in fuel due to decongestion is
the product of residual traffic fuel saving norm
given by the above formula annual run and
conversion factor (cc to litre ) in a rites study
*Fuel saving due to decongestion effect of cars
and buses are 20714391 litre and 38510952
litre respectively the rites study have assumes
the saving of two wheelers are roughly one-
third of the cars which becomes 6835749 litre

WHAT IS LOSES
Heavy revenue loss due to displaced buses
(estimated 2400 buses will be displaced by
2012)
Investment operation and maintenance of the
metro
The net benefits for the government during the
year 2011-12 are estimated to be RS. 31760
million at 2004 prices
