From six trains with a frequency of 15 minutes to 160 trains with a frequency of 2.5 minutes - for those travelling on Delhi Metro, the 100 months of its operation is a celebration indeed.

Yesterday, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) marked 100 months of operations as it is awaiting the green signal from the Centre for work to start on the third phase.

A DMRC spokesperson said: "When we started, we had six trains and made 70 trips. Today, there are 160 trains and 2,400 trips are made every day."

Beginning the journey on December 24, 2002, with 8.5 km, Delhi Metro today has 183 km of network and connects the capital with its satellite cities of Noida and Gurgaon. Currently, Delhi Metro has 135 stations.

It hasn't only ramped up services but also the workforce - earlier, only 1,000 employees worked with the DMRC, the number has now touched 8,000. From three women drivers in 2002, Delhi Metro now employs 25 women drivers. The number of drivers has also gone up from 20 in 2002 to 800 now.

Between 2002 and August 22, 2010, Delhi Metro had carried over 1.25 billion commuters - which is even more than the projected total population of India in 2011:1.20 billion.

Currently, 160 Metro trains make over 2,400 trips every day traversing about 70,000 km and carrying about 15 lakh passengers on working days.

Work on the third phase is expected to take off soon. It has been approved by the state government. Partial funds have also been approved by both the Centre and the state government,said officials.
