It is not the first time that a foreign dignitary has taken a ride on the Delhi Metro.
Japanese Minister Takes Delhi Metro Ride
In January this year, Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and Japan’s Ambassador to India, Ono Keiichi, took a ride on the Delhi Metro.
According to a statement released by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), the officials briefed the delegation about the Delhi Metro project. The officials then took a metro ride from Central Secretariat to Patel Chowk and back.
In a statement shared on X, DMRC stated, “His Excellency Mr MOTEGI Toshimitsu, Foreign Minister of Japan, along with H.E. Mr ONO Keiichi, Japanese Ambassador to India, took a ride on the Delhi Metro today. The delegation was briefed about the Delhi Metro project by senior DMRC officials at Central Secretariat, followed by a train ride from Central Secretariat to Patel Chowk and back.”
According to the DMRC, the metro network today has over 300 train sets of four, six, and eight coaches. It states that the Delhi Metro has also contributed “tremendously on the environmental front” by becoming the first ever railway project in the world to claim carbon credits for regenerative braking.
