Hyderabad, Feb 15 : In its continuous efforts to make the metro travel safe for passengers, L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (L&TMRHL) has become India’s first metro rail to introduce Ozone-based sanitisation of its train coaches. Kickstarting the process, it has inducted three portable Ozycare Mobizone units to sanitise the coaches in line with building confidence among passengers for safe travels during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a release here said on Tuesday.
Sanitisation of air and surface by ozone has been widely used in hospitals, healthcare, food processing facilities, and for disinfection of water, among others as per the appropriate guidelines. Hyderabad Metro Rail has conducted rigorous testing of Ozycare Mobizone equipment on various metro coaches for the past few months, which was followed by testing of the efficacy of the sanitisation by a NABL accredited lab, which has attested to the effectiveness of the machine in neutralizing more than 99 per cent of pathogens from the air and surface of the coaches. Based on its effectiveness, Hyderabad Metro Rail is now using Ozycare Mobizone equipment to sanitise the metro coaches providing a safer travelling experience to passengers.
