SpotGenie Fact: India’s First Driverless Metro Train
Discover India’s leap into autonomy: The first driverless metro train began operations on Delhi’s Magenta Line in December 2020.
Did You Know India’s First Driverless Metro Train Began in 2020?
When was the first time India ran a metro without a driver at the helm? The answer arrives with a dose of modern no-fuss convenience: 28 December 2020, when driverless train operations began on Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line.
This marked the first instance of fully automated operation (UTO) on any metro line in India, positioning Delhi among the few cities globally with sophisticated driver-free metro networks.
Why This Is a Game-Changer
- Complete Automation: No human operator needed in train cabs, trains run autonomously under real-time supervision.
- Connected Mobility: Increases efficiency, reduces human error, and decreases headways between trains.
- Global Milestone: Places India within the top 7% of city rail networks that operate driverless metros.
- Expansion Ahead: The Pink Line followed suit, starting its driverless rollout in 2021.
