Amid rumors that Delhi Metro services might be suspended from September 11 to 13 for the BRICS summit, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has clarified that operations will continue, with only minor adjustments at certain stations.
Delhi commuters had been hearing speculation that the metro network could be shut down between September 11 and 13 to accommodate security and logistical arrangements for the upcoming BRICS summit. Social media posts and local news columns amplified the uncertainty, prompting many to plan alternative travel.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) issued an official clarification on Wednesday, stating that the metro will remain fully operational throughout the summit period. The corporation emphasized that no complete service suspension is planned and that regular train frequencies will be maintained on all lines.
DMRC did note that a few stations located near the summit venues may experience temporary entry‑exit adjustments or brief platform announcements to manage crowd flow. Commuters are advised to follow on‑site signage and listen to station announcements for any real‑time changes. The corporation also urged passengers to allow extra travel time as security checks could be slightly lengthier than usual.
Overall, the statement aims to reassure the public that the city’s mass‑transit backbone will continue to serve residents and visitors during the high‑profile international meeting.
