The Reliance Infrastructure-led Delhi Airport Metro Express will shut down from Sunday for indefinite period due to some cracks in the civil structure and technical glitches.
The metro service in Delhi is India's first public-private partnership metro project. The Airport Metro Express will close down 16 months after opening. It had begun operated in February 2011.
The Reliance Infrastructure has decided to stop the services from Sunday for which thousands of commuters will face problems. However, the firm did not cite any reason for closing down the services to the airport.
Reports said that the Reliance Infrastructure is suffering from losses as it was not able to reach its targets in terms of profit and ridership.
However, the official reports suggested that the decision was taken after cracks were found in the construction of civil structure. A team from the Indian Railways, Delhi government and Ministry of Urban Development had visited the tracks and suggested to close down till the repair work is done.
