Punctuality is the key driver in serving commuters in Delhi, said Mangu Singh, Managing Director, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

Speaking at a function to receive the 136th Intermediate Metro Car from BEML, Singh said “Metro in Delhi has achieved 99.7 per cent punctuality due to quality metro cars supplied by major suppliers like BEML.”

BEML had bagged an order worth ₹923.44 crore from Delhi Metro in March 2011 for the supply of 136 Intermediate Cars for enhancing passenger carrying capacity.

Today, the company rolled out the final consignment of metro cars to DMRCL. The Intermediate Metro Cars for the RS-6 project of Delhi Metro has been developed indigenously by BEML, which predicates the technical prowess and expertise attained by BEML over the years, said Chairman and Managing Director P Dwarakanath.
