5G Network Access To Passengers

The optical fiber network is essential for enabling high-speed internet connectivity, which will provide 5G network access to passengers across the entire metro network in the NCR, including Delhi. This initiative aligns with the central government's vision of building a digitally connected nation.

This initiative will enable telecom companies to offer fast and reliable internet services, enhancing connectivity across Delhi. The metro network in the NCR, including Delhi, spans approximately 393 km, with internet connectivity issues being more prevalent in the underground corridors. However, the installation of optical fiber cables will significantly address and reduce these connectivity challenges.
