Delhi Metro

Established in 1995 and headquartered in New Delhi, India, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is a joint venture between the central Indian and Delhi state governments. DMRC operates the Delhi and Noida Metro systems and is actively involved in planning and executing metro rail, monorail and high-speed rail projects across India and internationally. The Delhi Metro network spans approximately 392.44 kilometres with 288 stations, serving an estimated 1.7 billion passengers annually.

Summary

Delhi Metro discloses information on some urban sustainability topics but lacks transparency in several key areas. The company outlines a due diligence process to identify vulnerable tenure rights holders based on age, culture, gender, income, and social conditions. Additionally, the company reports on noise and vibration pollution control, disclosing measures such as noise absorptive barriers and vibration control systems during both construction and operations.

However, DMRC lacks reporting on key environmental topics, such as regular disclosure of scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions. Similarly, no evidence was found that the company reports regularly on its energy consumption. Furthermore, the company’s sustainability strategy is underdeveloped.

To foster transparency and positive change, DMRC should conduct a materiality assessment to identify and prioritize its most relevant sustainability topics and publish a sustainability strategy that integrates these priorities into its overall business strategy. The company should assign decision-making and oversight responsibility for its sustainability strategy to the highest governance body. The company should also disclose its policy commitments to respect human rights. Moreover, it should establish measurable, time-bound, and, where possible, science-based targets to reduce negative impacts, such as its emissions, while regularly reporting progress against its sustainability goals.
