DMRC was registered under the Companies Act of 1956 for the implementation and subsequent operation of the metro rail in Delhi.

Apart from this, the fourth-largest economy in the world also has tough competition from its neighbour, China, and can become the second-largest network in the world if India successfully constructs its metro network, overtaking the US, which has 1389 km.
