COVID-19: Delhi Metro to operate at 50 per cent capacity, no standing passengers allowed

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Tuesday informed that travel will be allowed only for up to 50 per cent of the seating capacity inside the trains and added that no passenger will be allowed to stand in the train.

This comes after Yellow alert of the Graded Response Action Plan has come into effect in Delhi amid a surge in COVID-19 cases following the emergence of Omicron variant.

In an official statement, DMRC said, “In view of the COVID-19 guidelines, travel will be allowed only up to 50 per cent seating capacity inside the trains. No standing passenger will be allowed. Entry into Metro stations will be regulated by restricting the number of gates to ensure compliance with the guidelines.”
