Delhi Metro: In a bid to upgrade and strengthen the X-Ray baggage Scanning System at the security frisking points of Metro stations, the DMRC has started introducing the state-of-the-art and highly advanced baggage scanners at Delhi Metro stations in a phased manner. According to the metro corporation, these baggage scanners with advanced features will ensure extra safety and security to the commuters. Besides, they will also be more convenient for the old age and women passengers while lifting up and putting in heavy baggage items for scanning, the DMRC mentioned. Following are some key features of these advanced baggage scanners (X-BIS System):

Currently, as many as 34 such baggage scanners with specialized passenger-friendly features have already been installed at major Delhi Metro stations like Kashmere Gate, AIIMS, Rajouri Garden, HUDA City Centre, Vishwavidyalaya, Mayur Vihar Phase 1, NOIDA Sector-18, Palam etc., replacing the older X-BIS systems. Gradually, by the end of this year, over 250 more such baggage scanners will be placed across all stations of the Delhi Metro network. There are around 400 X-BIS machines installed, at present, at different Delhi Metro stations.
