Delhi Airport Metro seeks damages over faulty civils

29 Jan 13 Reliance Infrastructure’s Delhi Airport Metro project has begun operations after remaining closed for seven months and is seeking damages from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), said Reliance’s chief operating officer Lalit Jalan.

An arbitration team is assessing revenue losses incurred on account of the seven months of closure, loss due to faulty civil structure work and delay in repairs.

“We have demanded compensation for losses on various accounts but the matter is pending for arbitration, so I will not comment further,” he said.

The high-speed Delhi Metro track is currently operating at 50km per hour instead of its permissible speed of 120km per hour.

“Within a couple of weeks we will seek consent from DMRC for running trains at 80km per hour,” said a company spokeperson.
