This leasing model will also enhance the quality, efficiency and capacity of lifts and escalators to be commissioned under Ph-IV. Not just this, for the first time in India, the Metro systems will have lifts with a huge carrying capacity of around 20 commuters at a time as in earlier phases DMRC had lifts with a carrying capacity of only 8 to 13 passengers. The Phase-IV priority corridors are – Janakpuri West – RK Ashram Marg, Majlis Park – Maujpur and Tughalakabad – Aerocity for which DMRC has awarded these contracts to procure around 179 lifts and 323 escalators to be commissioned across these corridors comprising a total length of 65 KM and 45 stations.
