As Delhi plans to reduce its AQI levels amid rising pollution, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has decided to operate 40 additional train trips across its corridors on weekdays. The move aims to provide extra passenger capacity and encourage commuters to use public transport instead of private vehicles, reducing the overall pollution levels.

A DMRC spokesperson said that Managing Director Dr. Vikas Kumar has also directed the operations team to further increase the number of additional trips to 60, in case GRAP Stage III is enforced by authorities in the coming days.

“The move is aimed at encouraging people to use the Metro instead of their own vehicles and help mitigate the deteriorating air quality in the capital city as a collective responsibility,” the spokesperson added.
