The inaugural trial run of India's first metro train to be equipped for Unattended Train Operation (UTO) was flagged off by India's urban development minister Mr M Venkaiah Naidu and the chief minister of Delhi Mr Arvind Kejriwal in a ceremony at Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's Mukundpur depot on May 17. The first trial run from the depot to Majlis Park station on the Pink Line (Line 7) took place with a driver, although testing will gradually move towards Grade of Operation (GoA) 4 with full UTO. The 58.6km Pink Line from Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar is Delhi's first automated metro line and follows the route of Delhi's inner ring road, tracing an almost complete circle around the eastern, southern and western edges of the city on a mostly elevated alignment.
