Starting May 18, 2026, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will operate 24 additional train trips to meet the anticipated rise in passenger demand. This decision comes as the government promotes public transport usage to reduce fuel consumption amid ongoing global energy disruptions. Anuj Dayal, Principal Executive Director of Corporate Communications at DMRC, emphasized that the additional trips aim to facilitate a shift from private vehicles to the Metro system. The DMRC plans to introduce these extra trips every Monday, with flexibility to adjust based on demand on other days. To enhance commuter experience, DMRC will deploy more security personnel, open additional ticketing counters, and activate baggage scanners to minimize waiting times. Moreover, parking facilities at 126 metro stations across the Delhi-NCR region will support commuters in transitioning from personal vehicles to public transport. The DMRC also recently introduced a hydrogen-powered shuttle bus service in Central Vista, providing vital last-mile connectivity between key metro stations and government offices. This comprehensive approach reflects DMRC's commitment to improving public transport infrastructure and services.
