New Delhi: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) successfully hosted the UITP India Urban Rail Conference 2025, the biennial flagship event of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) in India. Held on 9th October in New Delhi, the conference brought together national and international experts to focus on one of the most pressing challenges of modern public transport — cybersecurity in urban rail systems.

The event was graced by Dr. Gulshan Rai, former and first National Cyber Security Coordinator to the Prime Minister’s Office, Government of India, who attended as the Chief Guest and delivered the keynote address.
