Bengaluru's Namma Metro may see a fare increase of approximately ₹5 starting February, as recommended by the Fare Fixation Committee. This proposed hike follows a significant 71% increase last year, which made Bengaluru's metro one of the most expensive in India. BMRCL officials are reviewing the revised fare slabs, citing rising operational and maintenance costs. Commuters have voiced concerns about the impact on household budgets, while BMRCL points to the legal framework allowing annual revisions based on FFC guidance.
