Delhi airport metro likely to resume services in August


A day after deciding to suspend operations of the 16-month-old Delhi Airport Metro Express, Government today claimed the high-speed corridor would resume services in two months' time after necessary repairs, but left many questions unanswered.

Union Urban Development Ministry, the Delhi Government, Delhi Metro and Reliance Infrastructure were at odds to explain the decision to suspend operations for an indefinite period on the 23-km Line owing to faults in civil structure on the corridor where trains are run at a speed of 105 km/hr.

A committee comprising officials from the Indian Railways, Delhi Metro and Reliance Infrastructure is already going into the nature of defects and would submit a report within the next 10 days after which rectification works would be carried out.
