The Orange Line is expected to transition to driverless train operations as its services extend toward Sector V. Prime Minister Narendra Modi may inaugurate this new section of the line on November 21.

While the trains will operate without the need for a motorman to run them, a staff member will remain seated in the cabin. This measure is intended to ensure passenger comfort and prevent anxiety regarding the automated system.
