Rs) 10,364 # Figure after deducting the electricity charges.

11 How Achieved? DMRC Vision, Mission and Culture included Delhi Metro to be world class standard in regard to safety, reliability, punctuality, comfort and customer satisfaction. Metro to operate on sound commercial lines obviating the need for govt. support. Construction activity should not inconvenience or endanger public life nor should lead to ecological or environmental degradation. Stations to be spotlessly clean. In other words Environmental, Social & Economic concern to be addressed from Planning to O&M stage.

12 System s Approach For achieving sustainability, following policies have been incorporated; using a systems approach: Environmental Policy Sustainability in Motion Policy Energy Management Policy Water Policy Waste Management Policy Quality Policy Solar Policy

13 Contract and Design Stage Environmental Management Manual a part of all contracts All construction works to be barricaded. All construction equipment should be washed clean of visible dirt/mud before existing the construction sites. Washing of vehicles tyre before going on the road. At construction depots and batching plants temporary drainage works should be maintained, removed and re-instated as necessary and all other necessary precautions should be taken foe avoidance of damage by flooding and silt. Sedimentation tanks or other acceptable measures, of sufficient capacity to trap silt-laden water before discharge into the outlet drain should be provided.

14 Contract and Design Stage Scheduling truck loading, unloading, and hauling operations so as to minimise noise impact near sensitive locations and surrounding communities. No lubricants, oils, solvents or paint products should be allowed to discharge into water courses. Storage areas should have adequate ventilation and be covered to prevent rain entering. The environmentally hazardous waste shall be stored on an impermeable surface. All plants /equipment/ machinery shall be well maintained by regular servicing and kept free from oil/grease dripping. Contractor shall avoid cut and fill in the root zones. The contractor should use energy efficient pumps (at least 80% efficiency) and motors (95% efficiency or more). Signage and barriers for protecting and guiding pedestrians. Provision of sidewalks of least 2m where feasible.

15 Contract and Design Stage Metro is Energy intensive Traction, Air conditioned coaches, Other passenger facilities at stations Lifts, Escalators etc. Selection of Design & Technology to optimise Energy consumption and Maintenance. Construction of stations on hump Adoption of regenerative breaking in rolling stock Adoption of light weight steel coaches Use of 25kvac traction as a choice In the design of air condition 1% ambient criteria adopted

16 Contract and Design Stage Optimum temp. For station W- design index- carefully chosen Selection of energy efficient equipment Energy efficient lights Sky lights/ambient light used in station design i.e. Energy efficient building architecture. Solar Power at Stations e.g. 501 kwp PV plants under RESCO model at stations.

17 Energy Efficiency Year (FY) Energy (Million Units) Traffic (Million Passenger KM) % increase w.r.t % 150% Thus while traffic increased by 150%, energy consumption has increased by 134.6%. In though the traffic (passenger km) has gone up by 18.9% w.r.t , the energy consumption has gone up by 3.3% only.

18 Energy Efficiency In Phase I stations total energy consumption was 70 kwh/ sq. m, in Phase II it is 47 kwh/sq. m. Number of obtainable VER are 6404 and 5707 for the years 2012 and 2013 respectively. Therefore, the Energy Management Policy and the Action Plan implemented, has resulted in substantial reduction of energy

19 Energy Efficiency Registered 2 CDM projects under Kyoto Protocol being administered by United Nations framework convention (UNFCC)on climate change. CDM on Regenerative Braking First Railway/Metro. CDM project on Model Shift

20 Last Mile Connectivity Feeder Bus service Bicycle service Battery operated Taxis from stations. Bicycle parking at nominal rate Bicycle rental Scheme at Vishwavidyalaya

21 Quality, Environment, Health & Safety (QEHS) Policy (Operations And Maintenance) DMRC is firmly committed to providing Sustainability in Motion by ensuring involvement of its commuters employees, contractors and supplier, other stakeholders. DMRC shall strive to work towards:- Adopt best available practices in every maintenance activity to improve quality of service. Timely delivery of services to achieve commuter satisfaction. Prevention of pollution, injury and ill health by adopting suitable policies, processes and procedures. Consideration of energy efficient, environment friendly, health and safety issues in operation and maintenance. Compliance with all applicable EHS legislations and other requirements to which we subscribe. Ensure motivation, involvement and participation of all stakeholders to our QEHS Management System through training, awareness and continuous competence building. Continual improvement in quality, environment, health and safety targets. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation shall always look forward to newer and improved ways of fulfilling the above objectives.

22 Conclusion Measures initiated by DMRC from the very inception are resulting in Environmental Sustainability by way of reduction in CO 2 emission, traffic congestion, etc. GHG Emission by Transport Sector in Delhi 1998: 64% 2012: 46% Economic Sustainability by way of energy efficient equipments, dependence on oil, vehicle load, time saving etc. Also in Social Sustainability by way of neighbourhood development, indirect job creation, assurance of safety not only to those who use the system but also to others. In short it is contributing to large extent on sustainable mobility in transportation in Delhi which was not there earlier.

23 Thanks You For giving me an opportunity for sharing my views

24 Delhi Metro is a member of the Nova (medium metros) Benchmarking Group. Its ridership qualifies for COMET group of big metros in the world. Impact It is considered safe, punctual, secure and convenient mode of transport by commuters. Some sections are overcrowded.(2013 Survey :Overall rating 7.1 out of 10) Delhi Metro was registered in UN under the Clean Development Mechanism for reduction of carbon emission on account of regeneration of energy with regenerative braking In March, 2010 DMRC bagged the Most Improved Metro Award at the 3 rd Metro Awards Ceremony held in London. Ridership is expected to be about 2.8 m on working day by Dec. 2014
