Kya hai ye naya mandate?
Arey suno, yeh decision Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs ne liya hai, aur yeh pura 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' wala plan hai. Target hai ki import kam ho aur India mein hi yeh safety gear banayein. Is policy ke according, underground stations pe full-height PSDs lagenge aur elevated corridors pe half-height wale.
Global Market vs Indian Companies
Waise, global market mein PSDs ka business $3.2 billion se bhi zyada ho sakta hai 2033 tak, aur yeh saal 10.5% ke hisaab se badh raha hai. Asia Pacific toh waise bhi is market mein aage hai, jahan Nabtesco aur Panasonic jaise bade players hain.
Lekin achhi khabar yeh hai ki India mein bhi TRAC Engineering aur Toshi Automation jaise companies indigenous PSD systems laa rahi hain. Woh keh rahe hain ki unka local component percentage kaafi high hai aur software bhi unka apna hai. Yeh DMRC ke liye accha hai kyuki pehle bhi foreign suppliers se problem aati thi.
Opportunity Aur Challenges
Delhi Metro ke Phase IV aur V ke itne bade expansion plans se Indian manufacturers ke liye ek dum zabardast mauka hai. Woh ab apni production badha sakte hain aur market mein apni jagah bana sakte hain. Sarkar bhi chahti hai ki manufacturing sector GDP mein zyada contribute kare aur jobs nikalein.
Haan, par risks toh hain hi. India mein abhi bhi infrastructure aur skilled labor ki kami hai. Ho sakta hai ki naye Indian manufacturers abhi tak international companies jitne advanced na ho ya unki reliability kam ho. Isse projects delay ho sakte hain, cost bhi badh sakti hai aur quality mein bhi issue aa sakta hai. DMRC ko bhi naye partners ko carefully choose karna padega, kyuki passenger safety sabse important hai.
Filhaal, Delhi Metro purani lines pe bhi safety upgrades kar raha hai. Jaise jaise Metro ka expansion badhega, PSDs ki demand aur badhegi. Yeh policy change Indian engineering aur manufacturing firms ke liye signal hai ki woh PSD production mein invest karein. Agar yeh successful raha, toh future mein aur bhi bade infrastructure projects mein aise 'Make in India' initiatives dekhne ko mil sakte hain.
