All stations being constructed as part of the Delhi Metro's Phase 4 expansion will come equipped with platform screen doors (PSDs) to ensure passengers' safety, officials aware of the decision said on Wednesday.

According to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), underground stations on the Phase 4 lines will get full-height PSDS (2.15m), while elevated stations will get half-height PSDS.

"PSDs are installed primarily as a crowd management feature in our stations, as these gates help passengers to queue up properly near the designated door areas. These gates also ensure safer travel for the passenger as they do not directly come in contact with the train, or cannot fall on the tracks," said Anuj Dayal, principal executive director, of corporate communications, DMRC.
