"Services during morning (8 AM to 10 AM) and evening (5 PM to 7 PM) peak hours across the network will be available with a headway (frequency) of 30 minutes," the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said in a statement.
"For rest of the hours of the day, services across the network will be available with a frequency of 60 min only," it said.
