According to the data provided by the ministry, DMRC registered a net loss before tax of Rs.275.46 crore in 2014-15, a whopping increase of 353 per cent from Rs. 60.74 crore in 2013-14.
The net loss was to the tune of Rs. 7.94 crore in 2012-13. Recently, DMRC chief Mangu Singh had also hinted that it was time for a fare hike as the current charges did not reflect the increase in costs of operation.
The fares were last revised in 2009.
