  "summary": "Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has become the first Indian metro organisation to secure ISO 55001:2024 certification for its management of Mumbai Metro Line-3. This certification marks a shift in DMRC's approach from conventional maintenance practices towards a strategic, risk-based and lifecycle-oriented model that focuses on managing asset performance, risks, costs and long-term value. The certification is significant as it comes at a time when DMRC is expanding its role beyond operating the Delhi Metro network, and could help establish a benchmark for more structured and scientific lifecycle-based asset management across India's rapidly expanding urban rail sector.",
