Taking cognizance of the rumor about fare hike in delhi Metro, DMRC wrote on 'X', "This is regarding some social media posts in which it is claimed that the fare of delhi Metro has been increased. The fare of delhi Metro can only be increased by the Fair Fixation Committee which is done by the government. Currently, no such proposal has come regarding the formation of Fair Fixation Committee."
How did the rumor spread?

Fare of Bangalore Metro has been increased
A handle named Yadav ekta Zindabad wrote, ''Friends, the first gift of good days for the people of Delhi. Metro fare has increased. Ticket of Rs. 60 is now available for Rs. 90.'' However, when a fact check was done on this, it was found that there are such news in many places that the fare of Bangalore Metro has been increased. Probably due to the same misunderstanding, such posts have been made. The fare of Bangalore Metro has been increased by about 50 percent on february 8. A ticket of Rs. 60 will now be available for Rs. 90. Whereas the fare of delhi Metro is the same as before on all its routes.
