Delhi Metro adds 100 extra train trips to combat pollution

India Nov 11, 2025

Delhi's air hit a new low on Tuesday, November 11, with the AQI spiking to a "severe" 423.
Authorities quickly rolled out GRAP-III, which means stricter pollution controls across the city.
To help people ditch their cars and cut emissions, Delhi Metro has added 60 extra train trips starting Tuesday—on top of the 40 added on October 27.

Air quality in Delhi hits 'severe' levels

Air this bad isn't just uncomfortable—it's unhealthy for everyone.
With more metro trains running, it's easier (and smarter) to skip driving and help keep pollution in check.
Plus, GRAP-III brings bans on non-essential construction and older vehicles in Delhi and nearby areas, so expect some changes around town if you're out and about.
