Hyundai Rotem for the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) as part of its
mid-life refurbishment program for older metro trains operating on the Blue
Line.
DMRC
has launched a comprehensive retrofit initiative to modernize some of its
oldest trains, originally inducted between 2002 and 2007, upgrading them with
improved safety systems, passenger information technologies, and enhanced
onboard facilities. The program aims to extend the operational life of these
trains while ensuring that they meet current standards for safety, reliability

refurbishment program includes the installation of modern IP-based Passenger
Announcement and Passenger Information Systems (PA-PIS), LCD-based dynamic
route maps, upgraded CCTV networks, and advanced fire detection mechanisms
equipped with smoke and heat detectors. These technologies help passengers
receive real-time travel information while enabling rapid communication with
train operators during emergencies.
Reliable
connectivity infrastructure forms the backbone of these modern systems. Through
its interconnection technologies, HARTING India supports the smooth
transmission of data and power across onboard applications, ensuring dependable
performance of safety and communication systems.
