Commuters in the national capital will have to shell out more for their metro ride from Monday as the DMRC has officially revised ticket fares.
This is the first time the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has hiked the ticket price in the last seven years.
While the ticket fares will see an increase of Rs 1 to Rs 4 in most of the lines, fares on the Airport Express Line will witness an increase upto Rs 5.
“The passenger fares of the Delhi Metro services have been revised with effect from today, that is, 25th August 2025 (Monday) onwards. The increase is minimal, ranging from ₹ 1 to ₹ 4 only depending on the distance of travel (upto ₹5 for the Airport Express Line),” the DMRC said in a post on X.
As per the revised structure, fares on normal days have gone up from Rs 10 to Rs 11 for the 0-2 km slab, while the highest fare for journeys beyond 32 km has increased from Rs 60 to Rs 64.
For travel between 12-21 km, fares have risen from Rs 40 to Rs 43, and for the 21-32 km slab, the new fare stands at Rs 54 against the earlier Rs 50.
The DMRC has introduced discounted fare slabs on Sundays and other national holidays. On these days, journeys beyond 32 km will now cost Rs 54 instead of Rs 50, while the 12-21 km slab has been revised to Rs 32 from the earlier Rs 30, it said.
The announcement of the fare hike has drawn mixed reactions on social media. While many users questioned the timing and necessity of the move, a few others claimed the fare increase is reasonable.
