The Indian central government informed the Rajya Sabha that state governments must create their own systems for providing metro fare concessions. This follows election promises of student fare discounts. The Union government stated that the Delhi Metro's fare structure is set by a binding Fare Fixation Committee, and that... state governments are responsible for metro operations' financial sustainability. Any concessions would require a separate mechanism to avoid impacting the standard fare structure.
Centre ne Rajya Sabha mein bataya ki agar state governments metro pass mein concessions dena chahte hain toh unhe apna khud ka mechanism banana hoga. Yeh baat February 5 ke elections mein partyon dwara school aur college students ke liye metro pass mein concessions dene ke waade ke baad aayi hai.... Union government ne kaha ki Delhi Metro ka fare structure ek binding Fare Fixation Committee dwara tay kiya gaya hai, aur state governments metro company ke operation ki sustainability ke liye zimmedar hain. Kisi bhi tarah ki concession ke liye regular fare structure ko affect kiye bina ek alag mechanism ki jarurat hogi.
