Northern Railway has installed a set of Escalators (Up & Down) o­n Platform No. 16(towards Second Entry) at Delhi Main station

On the occasion the General Manager, Northern Railway inspected the station premises-both entrances, Waiting Halls, Booking Centres, all passenger amenities like lighting, drinking water, catering etc and exhorted staff to work consistently to facilitate rail passengers during this peak travel period. He also directed that cleanliness and sanitation be ensured at the station.  

Platform No. 16 of Delhi Main station is a busy platform dealing with important and high-demand trains like Kaifiyat Express, Mussorie Express, Unchahar Express, Shalimar Express etc. The newly installed escalators have a capacity of 9600 passengers per hour and can work in both directions to cater to passenger needs during rush hours. The Escalators are driven by energy efficient VVVF drives. They have a standing capacity of 68 passengers per escalator and travel at a speed of 0.5 meter/second. The escalators have important safety features like emergency push button at 3 locations enabling quick intervention during any obstruction/detention. Provided with occupancy sensors, the escalators will slow down to half speed after 180 seconds and thereafter stop at 30 seconds in case of no users; as soon as passenger/ user is detected, the escalators resume operations immediately. This feature enables energy saving. These escalators are installed by M/s. SJEC Johnson Ltd.
