DMRC Requests Rs.6,200 Crore Budget Increase

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has submitted a revised budget proposal seeking over Rs.6,200 crore for the financial year 2024-25, aiming to enhance urban transportation infrastructure in the National Capital Region (NCR). This substantial funding request is intended to support ongoing projects and facilitate the expansion of the metro network, which is crucial for addressing the growing transportation demands of the city.

The proposed budget allocation will primarily focus on various initiatives, including the development of new metro lines, upgrading existing facilities, and improving passenger amenities. As the Delhi metro system continues to be a vital mode of transport for millions of commuters, the DMRC emphasizes the need for timely financial support to maintain service efficiency and safety standards.

In recent years, the demand for metro services has surged due to rapid urbanization and increased population density in Delhi and surrounding areas. The expansion plans aim to accommodate this growth while reducing congestion on the roads and promoting sustainable public transport options.

The DMRC’s request underscores the importance of government funding in ensuring the successful implementation of its ambitious projects. By enhancing connectivity and accessibility across the NCR, the DMRC aims to contribute to the broader goal of improving urban mobility and reducing carbon emissions associated with private vehicle use.

As discussions regarding the budget proposal unfold, stakeholders from various sectors are closely monitoring the outcomes, recognizing the significant impact that a well-funded metro system can have on urban development and overall quality of life in the region. The DMRC remains committed to delivering efficient and reliable transportation solutions, reinforcing its role as a cornerstone of Delhi's urban infrastructure.
