Overview
- The new fare chart sets ₹11 for 0–2 km and ₹64 for trips beyond 32 km, with slabs of ₹21 (2–5 km), ₹32 (5–12 km), ₹43 (12–21 km) and ₹54 (21–32 km).
- Airport Express Line tickets now cost up to ₹5 more, on top of the nominal hikes across other lines.
- The revision took effect on August 25 and applies to weekdays as well as Sundays and national holidays.
- Smart-card concessions continue: 10% off every journey plus an extra 10% discount during off-peak hours.
- DMRC attributes the change to COVID-era revenue losses, JICA loan repayments and refurbishment needs, noting it follows 4th Fare Fixation Committee recommendations approved by the board.
