DMRC earns India’s first metro certification under ISO 55001:2024
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has received a new international certification for managing metro equipment and infrastructure.
It is the first metro organisation in India to receive the ISO 55001:2024 certification.
The certification applies to Mumbai Metro Line-3.
This line is 33.5 kilometres long and connects Colaba, Bandra and SEEPZ.
The system helps DMRC plan for the entire life of its assets, not just repair them when they break.
It considers safety, performance, risks, costs and long-term value.
DMRC improved its plans, checks and staff training to earn the certification.
The system will continue to be checked using performance measures, audits and management reviews.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation became India’s first metro organisation certified under ISO 55001:2024.
The certification covers DMRC’s Asset Management System for the 33.5-km Mumbai Metro Line-3 corridor.
It shifts asset management from conventional maintenance toward strategic, risk-based and lifecycle-oriented practices.
DMRC strengthened its plans, risk controls, lifecycle systems and staff training before receiving certification.
The system is monitored through key performance indicators, audits and management reviews.
