The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) have joined forces to create an indigenous communication-based train control (i-CBTC) system. This collaboration is aimed at fostering innovation, cost reduction, and self-sufficiency within the domain of train control signaling systems.
Key aspects of this partnership include:
- The development and implementation of a prototype i-CBTC solution on a dedicated test track within the DMRC network.
- The adoption of a Communication-Based Train Control System to optimize train operations, enhance service frequency, and improve passenger services.
- A decrease in reliance on foreign suppliers and the advancement of local production and standardization in metro signaling and train control systems.
