Delhi Metro Fares To Rise From Today; First Hike In Eight Years

New Delhi: Commuters in the national capital will now have to pay more for their metro rides as the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has officially revised ticket fares starting Monday, August 25.

This marks the first fare hike in eight years, with the last revision taking place in 2017 based on the recommendations of the Fourth Fare Fixation Committee.

The DMRC stated that the fare adjustment is nominal, with increases ranging between Rs 1 and Rs 4 across most lines. However, fares on the Airport Express Line will see a rise of up to Rs 5.

In an official post on social media platform X, DMRC confirmed: “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 new fare structure reflects changes across all distance slabs. Passengers travelling short distances between 0 and 2 kilometres will now pay Rs 11, while those covering the longest distances, beyond 32 kilometres, will pay Rs 64, up from the previous maximum fare of Rs 60. Before this hike, the minimum fare was Rs 10.

The revised fare slabs are now in effect across the metro network, which spans over 390 kilometres and serves more than 285 stations across Delhi and the National Capital Region.

In an attempt to provide some relief to commuters, especially casual travellers and families, the DMRC has introduced discounted fare slabs for Sundays and national holidays. On these days, the fare for short and mid-range travel will be significantly lower, with the cost of travelling distances up to 5 kilometres capped at Rs 11, and the maximum fare set at Rs 54 for journeys beyond 32 kilometres.

The announcement of the fare hike has drawn criticism from several commuters and social media users, many of whom questioned the timing and necessity of the move.

Several users voiced concerns about the rising cost of living and demanded transparency on how the increased revenue would be utilised.

Despite the backlash, DMRC officials maintain that the fare revision is necessary to ensure operational sustainability, maintain high service standards, and support future infrastructure upgrades.
