New Delhi: There’s some good news for Delhi Metro commuters who find the frequent call drops and poor mobile connectivity while travelling by the metro a harrowing experience. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is going to install 94 mobile towers across its network across NCR, which the corporation hopes would vastly improve mobile connectivity.
The largest number of mobile towers — at 36 locations — would be installed along the Blue Line (Dwarka-Noida City Centre/Vaishali), which is the busiest corridor. Mobile towers at 18 locations would be installed between Noida City Centre to Shadipur metro stations, and between Laxmi Nagar to Vaishali metro stations. Apart from these sections, 18 more mobile towers would be installed on the Blue Line between Kirti Nagar and Dwarka Sector 8.
The second most number of mobile towers would be installed along the second busiest metro corridor — the Yellow Line (Samaypur Badli-HUDA City Centre). Mobile towers would be installed at a total of 18 locations along this corridor. The Red Line (Rithala-Shaheed Sthal New Bus Adda), which is Delhi Metro’s oldest corridor, would get mobile towers at 15 locations.
The Violet Line between Kashmere Gate and Raja Nahar Singh metro station in Faridabad will get mobile towers at 14 locations and the Green Line (Inderlok to Brigadier Hoshiar Singh) will get mobile towers at 11 locations.
“DMRC is offering space to parties willing to install mobile towers along our corridors. Based on their interest, further work will be undertaken,” a DMRC official said. “The licensing of space in metro premises would augment non-operational revenue for the authority, and would also enhance mobile coverage in metro premises and peripheral areas that would benefit commuters immensely,” he said.
While DMRC is planning to improve mobile connectivity at most of its ‘older’ corridors, there are no plans to install metro towers along the comparatively newer Pink (Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar) and Magenta Lines (Botanical Garden-Janakpuri West) corridors. A DMRC official, however, said that mobile signal booster equipment will be installed at sections of Pink and Magenta Lines where mobile connectivity is poor.
