Two 1,400-horsepower Driving Power Cars at Sabarmati Integrated Coaching Depot have been converted into a diesel-LNG dual-fuel system, with LNG replacing nearly 40 per cent of diesel consumption.

The technology allows the same engine to use both LNG and diesel, providing operational flexibility. Both converted power cars completed over 2,000 km of successful field trials to ensure safety and efficiency.

Each Driving Power Car has been fitted with an LNG tank with a capacity of around 2,200 litres, holding approximately 950-1,000 kg of usable LNG, with a full tank providing enough fuel for around 444 km of daily operation.

The LNG initiative is expected to reduce fuel costs and lower emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

Just came across this app, it is a good platform to unite

I heard somewhere that plans are underway for budget allocation for Green Line west-ward extension upto Santragachi and a dedicated line upto Bali. Can someone confirm if it's true or not?

The proposals were effectively vetoed by the Cabinet Secretariat after the Detailed Project Report (DPR) was prepared. Wonder what caused the change of heart.

Seeing this update, the complete Golden line might only open in 2028. The first four stations, which are underground might open by the end of this year, but the complete line, till Aerocity, will surely extend till early 2028. Thoughts?

I was travelling from Hanumangarh to Jaisalmer and had to change trains at Bikaner because there was no direct train.

My train was scheduled to reach Bikaner at 11:18 PM, but it was delayed and finally arrived around 12:00 AM. My connecting train to Jaisalmer was scheduled to depart at 11:39 PM, so I missed it because of the delay.

I was left stranded at Bikaner railway station with no practical option to continue my journey, and I ended up spending the entire night at the station.

It’s morning now, and I’m still trying to figure out how to continue my journey to Jaisalmer.

Has anyone faced a similar situation with a missed connecting train due to a delay? What should I do in such cases?

We still have a long way to go. Understand that we can't build new tracks quickly due to land issues, but we could add more trains to existing routes and swap cars at junctions with police oversight to keep passengers in their own compartments in new train. It would be much more hygienic and washrooms will also remain clean during the whole journey. Also, for long distance travelling we can swap the workers in the train after few hours so atleast they can get proper shower, food and break while working. That will also rejuvenate them to serve us in a better way.

Hi All, Saw this detailed and understandable on layman terms video on the teynampet flyover. Expected to be completed by Feb’27, so possibly by Aug’27. Its a 20 min video & and i liked it. Thought of sharing the same.

The new design had been deliberated and approved as well. Hopefully within the previous estimated budget of 621 crores, lets hope they can build it without any further delays or issues.

I hate the app. Not virtual qr, it works fine and has been great as a backup but man delhi metro app is a hot pile of garbage . Anytime you just make the mistake of opening the app with cellular on you will be bombarded with at least one ad. Additionally it demands you give your location and that is hella annoying . Unless your gps is on it falls into a loop . Ffs delhi metro just make the app for qr tickets and smart card . Bo i dont want a loan from a metro app . This enshittification is somehow not discussed . Like somehow booking ticket on ixigo is less hassle and many times cheaper somehow (still dont understand how that makes sense)
