DMRC wins 'Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement' Award

Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) has awarded the Delhi Metro's Phase I, II, and III projects with the prestigious 'Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award' for the year 2020. The Delhi Metro project was lauded as a "High-Quality Infrastructure Development Project" by the JSCE. In its award note, the JSCE said the Delhi Metro's projects raised awareness of safety and efficiency at construction sites in India while also providing residents with safe, secure, and comfortable transportation. This award is given to highly selective projects showcasing the advancement of civil engineering technology across the world. The Delhi Metro's civil engineering achievements over the last two decades have received global recognition and have been recognized by prominent international organizations.

Earlier, the Delhi Metro's Phase I implementation was rated 'Excellent' in a post-evaluation study conducted by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The study rated Delhi Metro's project execution capability at '3', the highest possible grade, indicating that DMRC's performance was excellent. Since its inception, the Delhi Metro has been closely associated with Japan. The JICA has supported all phases of the Delhi Metro project, including the current Phase IV project, by providing excellent value-added activities such as knowledge assistance by introducing Japanese innovative technologies and mindsets of safety and innovation, unique work culture, technical cooperation, and DMRC capacity building.
