Delhi Metro fare increased from today as per the DMRC orders. The fares of Delhi Metro to be hike by a maximum Rs 10 for those who are travelling over two kilometres. On Monday DMRC department refused to interfere in the fares hike matter of the metro that will be increased from Tuesday.

However, this is the part two revision in which fare hike will see the increase of rates by Rs 10. Earlier on 10th May, part one of fare hike was imposed in which ticket costs were raised from Rs 8 to Rs 10 and the maximum from Rs 30 to Rs 50.
