Delhi Metro's Arpan Centres Collect 41 Tonnes of Clothes for Reuse and Recycling
Delhi Metro's Arpan centres have collected over 41 tonnes of old clothes from nearly 4,000 people since their launch last month. Operating at 10 stations, the initiative repurposes some donations into products like rugs and bags, while most materials are recycled. Self-help groups create items from the collected clothes, which are sold at the centres. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation plans to open 10 more centres by January 2027 to expand the program.
