Commuters on Delhi Metro have a reason to rejoice. Soon, free Wi-Fi will be available throughout the network. Delhi Metro has tied up with two companies to provide high-speed Wi-Fi on all its corridors in the second half of this year. "Techno Sat Comm has been given exclusive licence by DMRC to provide Wi-Fi services for 10 years," Jagdip Rana, director, business development of the company told.

Delhi Metro had earlier signed an MoU with another company, RailTel, in 2015 to provide Wi-Fi at five stations -- Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate, Vishwavidyalaya, Central Secretariat and Hauz Khas.

Commuters can consume videos, information and news that is local, timely and relevant to passengers, added the official.

According to the representative, Techno Sat Comm runs the country's first Wi-Fi on train service on the Delhi-Howrah Rajdhani Express. "We have adapted the technology keeping in mind adverse weather conditions including heat, dust, heavy rains, vibration of trains and large passenger loads," said Nirav Dave of Techno Sat Comm.
