After nine years of operation, the Delhi Metro fares were raised in 2017 as suggested by the Fourth Fare Fixation Committee and not the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation considering the input costs of expansion and revenues.
The study said that 30 percent of the metro commuters in the city have an average income of Rs 20,000, which meant they spent 19.5 percent of their income on travel. It also highlighted that Delhi metro ridership fell by a sharp 46 percent after the fare hike.
