In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Aug. 24, the DMRC wrote, "This is to confirm that Delhi Metro fares will be revisedv with effect from tomorrow, i.e., 25th August 2025."

The operator added that the revision would be modest, saying, "The revision will be nominal, with fares increasing by Rs 1 to Rs 4. The fares on the Airport Line will increase by up to Rs 5."
