Mumbai: The Bombay High Court asked the Centre on Tuesday to direct the fare fixation committee to expeditiously fix the tariff of the 11.4-km Mumbai Metro rail corridor which connects Versova in the west to Ghatkopar in the east.
All the partners in the consortium are members of the fare fixation committee which has been asked to decide the fares of the Metro which became operational this month.
Justice R.D. Dhanuka also rejected the petition filed by MMRDA challenging the fares of the Metro. At present, Mumbai Metro One Private Ltd is offering a promotional fare of Rs10.
MMRDA, a state agency, and Anil Ambani-led Reliance Infrastructure have a disagreement over the fares.
While the state government wants minimum fare of Rs 9 and maximum fare of Rs 13 for the rail corridor, MMOPL has announced fares ranging between Rs10 and Rs 40.
