Today, the Adjustment Unveiling New Invalid Fare to the Hike of Delhi Metro Fare Dearness. The DMRC has now talked about the fare hikes for passengers.

5-12 km: Up by Rs 2.

Passenger opinions: Mostly are "just" and "bearable" enough for others. It is such a small amount that it is not expected to be a burden on most general passengers.
It carries more than a million people a day, playing an integral role in decongesting traffic and pollution in its own way within the city. If an extra penny in fare will stand for good service quality, that's certainly a step ahead.
