The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has begun fixing anew designed signage at its stations for the suitability of its travellers. As a pilot project, the Barakhamba and Pragati Maidan metro stations have already been provided with new signage.
The new signage is made of aluminium extrusion with vinyl. The signage is tough and fit to withstand rough handling.
The aluminium extrusion signage will have LED backlight to lighten up symbols and words. The panels are designed for assisting commuters to station platforms and towards entry and exit will have a deep blue background with white lettering, instead of deep blue lettering on a white background.
A metro official said, “These are better equipped to handle issues such as vandalism, tearing, writing on the body of the signage etc as they are made of aluminium extrusion with vinyl. Also, they require very little maintenance and are more durable.”

According to metro spokesperson, “The new signage are aesthetically designed which will contribute towards improving the overall look of the stations. The retro-reflective signage will use Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) material.
The up-to-date signage will show the name of the next and previous stations on the line.
