L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited (L&TMRH) has become India’s first metro rail to introduce ozone-based sanitisation of its train coaches. On Tuesday, it introduced three portable Ozycare Mobizone units to sanitise coaches to build confidence among passengers for safe travels amid COVID-19 pandemic.
Sanitisation of air and surface by ozone has been widely used in hospitals, healthcare, food processing facilities, and for disinfection of water. These units have been introduced after rigorous testing on various metro coaches for the past few months and this was followed by testing the efficacy of the sanitisation by a NABL-accredited lab, said an official release.
“These units are robust enough to neutralise more than 99% of pathogens both from the surface and air within the train coaches. We hope this would infuse a sense of confidence among passengers, making them choose the metro as their preferred mode of city commute during the ongoing pandemic,” said L&TMRH CEO and managing director K.V.B. Reddy.
