Operational Losses: DMRC has stated that as per the cash flow of Phase-IV project, there is no operational loss and the FIRR worked out is 6.96%. Hence, the operational losses are not envisaged for the entire operational period from its commissioning in 2024-25 in the revised DPR.
THE PROJECT PROPOSAL APPROVED BY THE CABINET INCLUDES 334 ADDITIONAL ROLLING STOCKS REQUIRED TO MEET THE INCREASED METRO TRAFFIC IN THE EXISTING I,II AND III PHASES.
This decision will allow the DMRC to add coaches to existing trains and run new trains depending on the rush of commuters of any route. The DMRC can decide how and where to add coaches to existing trains depending on technical feasibility.
II)                The cabinet approved construction of elevated road corridors on the following Metro corridors :

a)      Rithala-Bawana-Narela – elevated corridor 21.73 kms
b)      Janakpuri West-RK Ashram – elevated 21.18 kms
c)      Mukundpur-Maujpur  – elevated 12.54 kms.

THESE CORRIDORS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED BY THE DMRC AND THE ENTIRE COST WILL BE BORNE BY THE DELHI GOVERNMENT.
It is proposed that these elevated road corridors will run below the elevated metro corridor to provide better traffic flow, since wherever elevated Metro corridors have been constructed it has been experienced that construction of roads below is impossible later on. The DMRC will prepare the DPR and proceed further.
