Delhi Metro spans nearly 393 kilometres.

Dear reader,

Earlier this week, Delhi Metro just hit the big 21. But it is not just that: it's now a global player in urban transport!

After a challenging financial period due to Covid, DMRC looked to the global market for a comeback. They're not just constructing metros -- they're forging connections, transforming cities, and putting Indian innovation in the spotlight on the world stage.

Delhi Metro is no more just a local lifeline but a global urban transport pioneer. Amit's talking to us in detail: https://swarajyamag.com/infrastructure/tracks-beyond-india-how-delhi-metro-is-shaping-urban-transport-from-bahrain-to-bangladesh
