Delhi Metro fares hiked from today, check here for new rates

Delhi metro has rolled out a second hike in fares this year.

If you are travelling beyond 5km on the Delhi Metro from Tuesday, be prepared to shell out Rs 10 extra with yet another fare revision. The hike came into force after the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) decided it is not “competent” to roll back or defer the proposed fare hike, ending a political confrontation between the Delhi government and the Centre on the issue.
