This marked the highest ever daily passenger journeys pre and post the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The achievement is a testament to the efforts of DMRC’s dedicated staff, the support of the Delhi NCR residents, and the commitment to providing safe, efficient, and eco-friendly transportation services, stated the DMRC.
Adding that it continues to prioritise passenger safety and comfort while enhancing connectivity across the Delhi-NCR region, the DMRC expressed that, "This milestone underscores our mission to provide accessible, reliable, and sustainable transportation solutions."
