Delhi Metro fares increased by Re 1 to Rs 5 after eight years to cover rising operational costs; smart card users retain 10% discount on all journeys.
- On Monday, August 25, 2025, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation revised passenger fares, marking the first change in nearly eight years for Delhi Metro commuters in New Delhi.
- DMRC cited rising operational and maintenance costs and therefore raised fares by Re 1 to Rs 4 on normal lines and up to Rs 5 on the Airport Express Line to support efficiency.
- Under the new slabs, the base fare is Rs 11 for 0–2 km, with maximum fare Rs 64 beyond 32 km and Rs 54 for 21–32 km journeys.
- More than six million daily riders face slightly higher fares while DMRC smart card users keep a 10% discount plus an additional 10% off-peak.
- The move follows the 2017 revision, after which ridership fell by over 3 lakh, and DMRC said the adjustment aims to sustain operations as Phase IV expansion proceeds and will monitor impact.
