The metro train has been a popular mode of transport for commuters across Delhi, and now Delhi metro will introduce driver-less trains, which come with a lot more to make travelling through the city more comfortable. DMRC Managing Director Mangu Singh said, "Initially, the train will be run by a driver for one year on trial basis. Only after successfully conducting the trial, it will be fully automated. Unless we are 100 percent sure, we won't start with driver-less trains."

The removal of a driver's cabin will clear space to accommodate 60 more people in the train, as the width of the coaches will increase from 2.9m to 3.2m. The move will increase speed by 10% and decrease energy consumption by 20%, as equipment will be placed under seats to increase space.
