Delhi Metro commuters, don’t panic! Recently, rumors have been circulating that Delhi Metro fares have increased by 50%, raising concerns among millions of passengers. But is this claim true? Let’s uncover the truth.

🔎 The Viral Claim: Metro Fares Hiked by 50%?

Several media reports suggested that Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has increased fares, raising the maximum ticket price from ₹60 to ₹90. This created a wave of confusion and worry among regular metro passengers.

🚨 DMRC’s Official Statement: No Fare Hike!

DMRC quickly addressed these rumors via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, stating:

“This is in reference to some social media posts claiming that the fares of Delhi Metro have been revised. Delhi Metro fares can only be revised by an independent Fare Fixation Committee nominated by the Government. At present, there is no such proposal to constitute a Fare Fixation Committee.”

This means:
✅ No official fare hike has been approved.
✅ No plans for a fare increase in the near future.
✅ Any future fare changes will be decided by an independent committee, not DMRC alone.

📌 What’s the Actual Metro Fare?

As of now, the maximum fare for Delhi Metro remains ₹60, and there has been no official announcement of an increase. If any changes occur, they will be made through a proper government-approved process.
