The Fare Fixation Committee (FFC) for recommending passenger fares for Delhi Metro has sought an extension of three months to submit its report, a senior official in the Ministry of Urban Development told BusinessLine.
“The Chairman of the Committee has written a letter to Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu seeking more time,” the official added.
If the committee gets an extension, this could mean that Metro riders will get to enjoy the current fare for some more time.
On May 30, 2016, the Ministry had notified the FFC for recommending passenger fares for Delhi Metro network in Delhi and its extension tothe National Capital Region.
Set up under Sections 33 and 34 of the Metro Railway (Operations and Maintenance) Act, 2002, the committee had been given three months from the date of assumption of charge by the Chairperson of the Committee Justice ML Mehta, retired Judge of the High Court of Delhi, for submission of its report and recommendations to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRC).
