The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has demanded to join the Delhi government’s ‘Islanding’ scheme’s agency’s agency DTL to protect its operations in the case of an electrical network. ‘Islanding’ in the electric field is a backup safety mechanism, through which part of the relevant timetable can continue with the power supply to important installations. In fact, DMRC was not included in the revised ‘Islanding’ scheme of Delhi Transco Limited (DTL), 2023, while the Metro is considered the lifeline of the city and 5 lakh passengers utilize it in busy times. Recently, at the meeting of the Operational Coordination Committee (OCC), DMRC made a new proposal to join the scheme. Delhi, state load transfer center (SLDC), said the 765 KV substation is expected to be operational by August 2025. Officials said it was agreed at the meeting that the island scheme should be revised. However, SLDC reported that the traction tax of DRMC is ‘highly variable’, which causes a peak class at different intervals. This is a major challenge for the stability and durability of the variability plan. Officials said the DMRC is requested to propose a practical solution to running the changing traction tax so that it can be included in the island scheme without compromising the stability of the system.
