Overview
Major metro networks in India, specifically in Delhi and Pune, have experienced significant surges in ridership and revenue. In Delhi, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation recorded a historic high of 8,244,903 passengers in a single day on September 17, partly due to a strike by private agency drivers of the Delhi Transport Corporation.
In Pune, the metro saw substantial growth during the 12-day Ganeshotsav festival from September 14 to September 25. During this period, Pune Metro recorded 4.83 million passengers, representing a 29.99% increase compared to 2025.
