No separate provision has been made for the Delhi Metro in the general budget, but there is a proposal to increase the budget of metro projects across the country. In the previous budget, a provision of 19 thousand 152 crore was made for metro projects. Whereas, this time a provision of 20 thousand crores has been made - a major part of this will be spent on the projects of Phase Four in Delhi and Metro expansion in NCR.

According to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) regarding this matter, the budget of Delhi Metro is included in the amount fixed for metro projects all over the country. Six metro corridors are to be constructed in Delhi in phase four. The total length will be 103.93 km. Three of these corridors have been approved and the construction process has also started.
