Delhi Metro now under indigenous software watch

New Delhi: Taking cognisance of Central government's Digital India as well as Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for the first time has implemented a custom-made project monitoring software for monitoring the progress of its Phase-IV corridors and the Patna Metro.

Till Phase-III, DMRC's project monitoring was being done offline. The new move is part of the DMRC's digitalisation of its functioning.

With the implementation of this new technology, known as Integrated Project Monitoring Software (IPMS), DMRC's engineers can now monitor the progress of work through this dedicated platform.

This major initiative of the DMRC will monitor the progress of work of all disciplines - Civil, Electrical and Mechanical, and Signalling and Telecommunication contract package wise at the Chief Project Manager and Project Manager levels and Corridor wise at the Directors and Managing Director level.

A consortium of three Indian companies has been assigned with this responsibility and the software has been indigenously developed by Indian Engineers.

Through IPMS, all the stages of project planning and implementation right from the tender stage to revenue operation of each corridor will be monitored including the issues of work front availability such as land availability, tree transplantation and shifting of services and design status, said Anuj Dayal, Executive Director (Corporate Communications) DMRC.
