Delhi Metro Adds 20 Weekday Trips As Pollution Curbs Begin

Hindustan Times · environment

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will run 20 additional trips on weekdays starting Tuesday, increasing the total number of extra services to 40. This decision comes as Stage II of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP-II) was invoked across the National Capital Region due to deteriorating air quality. Delhi's Air Quality Index reached 324, prompting authorities to implement stricter pollution control measures. The DMRC aims to encourage public transport usage over private vehicles to help mitigate pollution levels.
