Taking a note of the ongoing tussle between Delhi Metro and Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited (DAMEPL), the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA), has proposed to amend Section 89 of the Metro Railways (Operations and Maintenance) Act, 2002, to eliminate any possibility of attachment of metro railway assets (including financial assets) pursuant to any execution processes carried out by courts. These amendments will remove any clauses in the present Act that allow takeover of metro properties by unfavourable court verdicts.
