The process for the Magenta Line began in May 2024 with Stage I, which involved removing cab partition doors and gradually phasing out the driving console, though an operator remained inside the cab. (Photo: X)
By August 2024, in Stage II, the operator was allowed to move anywhere inside the train rather than remain in the cab. In the same month, Stage IIIA reduced the presence of operators to every alternate train. (Photo: X)

Finally, in May 2025, Stage IIIB was implemented, with operators removed entirely, officially making the Magenta Line fully driverless. (Photo: X)

For the Pink Line, automation began in March 2025. It reached Stage II by June 2025 and is expected to become fully driverless within the next three to four months. (Photo: X)

Once both lines are fully automated, Delhi Metro will have 97 km of driverless corridors out of its total 395 km network in the Delhi-NCR region, making it one of the largest driverless metro systems in the world. (Photo: X)
