"These trains will be 10% more efficient than the existing trains, as well as faster," said HS Anand, director, rolling stock, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). He said the trains will be more energy-efficient due to features like better regeneration of energy during braking.
"Sub-systems like LED lighting and more energy-efficient air-conditioning will add to the green aspect," said Anand. With better acceleration and deceleration systems in place, the trains will also run faster. "At present, Phase II trains run at an average speed of 32kmph. Lines 7 and 8 will run at average speeds of 35kmph," said Anand.
The new trains will be driverless and the space created by removing the driver cabin will be available for passengers.
"Commuters will be looking straight out on to the track," said Anand. However, in the first year of operations, the trains will have a temporary partition for drivers.
The trains will be painted in the line colours — for instance, the Brown Line (Mukundpur-Shiv Vihar) will have trains with brown stripes. For passenger comfort, there will be back support along the glass panels at the ends of a row of seats, more grab rails and modified grab poles.
The trains made by Hyundai ROTEM are being sourced from South Korea.
Anand said, "The first train will be inducted in May 2015 in Mukundpur. Twenty trains will come from South Korea while the rest of the 61 trains will be manufactured in Bangalore." Delhi Metro will induct four trains (of six coaches each) in each corridor. The cost of each coach is Rs 8.5 crore. Delhi Metro had paid Rs 7.28 crore per coach when it purchased them in 2007 from Bombardier.
