The Delhi Metro will soon enforce a penalty of up to ₹5,000 for unauthorized selling or exposing articles for sale within its premises, following the passage of the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026. This legislation, introduced by Jitin Prasada (Minister of State for Commerce and Industry), aims to convert certain minor offenses from criminal penalties into civil penalties, thereby streamlining enforcement and reducing the burden on the judicial system. Previously, penalties for such offenses ranged from ₹100 to ₹400, but the new provisions under Section 73 of the Metro Railways (Operation and Maintenance) Act, 2002, significantly increase this fine. The bill addresses past issues of unauthorized activities reported in the metro, such as individuals soliciting donations and distributing religious materials inside coaches.
