New Delhi: The revision of fares for Delhi Metro train services is likely to be delayed as the union urban development ministry is yet to constitute a Fare Fixation Committee (FFC), parliament was told on Thursday.
"The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) requested the government to set up the fourth Fare Fixation Committee. The committee has not been constituted so far, nor can the firm date can be given," Minister of State for Urban Development Deepa Dasmunsi told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply.
Delhi Metro last increased its fares in November 2009. The minimum fare was increased from Rs 6 to Rs 8 and the maximum from Rs 22 to Rs 30. That was the third time Delhi Metro had revised fares since it began operations in 2002.
