Delhi Metro services begin at 6:00 am on Sunday across all corridors, with an adjusted timetable intended to reduce disruption for commuters and students. The earlier start is designed to help people travel amid traffic impacts related to the BRICS Summit taking place in the city.
Both outlets link the schedule change to traffic restrictions and advisories associated with the summit. Times of India specifies that the timing supports students, including candidates appearing for examinations, and mentions NDA and CDS exam candidates in particular. Business Line similarly frames the adjustment as a way to ensure access to key areas during the event period.
While the outlets largely agree on the early 6 am start and the reason—summit-related traffic constraints—Times of India also provides more detail about specific examinations affected and the passenger planning guidance, whereas Business Line stays more general about the goal of accommodating early commuters and students.
