Delhi Metro Adds 40 Weekday Trips, Tightens Site Controls Under GRAP Stage II

The step targets a shift from private vehicles to public transit under Delhi's GRAP controls.

Overview

  • DMRC has introduced 40 additional weekday train trips across corridors as GRAP Stage II takes effect in Delhi.
  • Managing Director Dr. Vikas Kumar directed operations to scale the extra trips to 60 if GRAP Stage III is enforced.
  • Dr. Kumar inspected Phase 4 works at Ashok Vihar and Derawal Nagar to review compliance with air-quality protocols.
  • Around 82 anti-smog guns are currently deployed across construction sites, with DMRC noting it adopted the machines before mandates.
