Countries including Israel, Egypt and Kenya have approached the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for possible collaboration in metro projects, Managing Director Vikas Kumar said. DMRC has formed a dedicated overseas arm, Delhi Metro International Limited (DMIL), to aggressively secure contracts abroad and generate additional revenue. Kumar told PTI that DMRC is already involved in the Dhaka metro as a consultant and in operations and maintenance. Kenya and other African nations have shown interest, though talks have not advanced. The corporation plans to engage embassies and foreign firms, leveraging its experience running over 90 km of driverless networks. Revenue from overseas projects will fund mid-life refurbishments of Delhi Metro's ageing stations and stock, which began operations in 2002. DMRC also holds long-term O&M contracts for Mumbai and Chennai Metro and provides support in Patna, Noida, Gurugram and Jaipur.
