Delhi Metro now allows passengers to carry up to two sealed bottles of alcohol per person, as per updated regulations announced by officials on Friday.

However, it is important to note that the consumption of alcohol within the metro premises continues to be strictly forbidden.

"A committee comprising officials from the CISF and DMRC have reviewed the list and as per the revised list, two sealed bottles of alcohol per person is allowed to be carried on the Delhi Metro at par with the provisions on the Airport Express Line," it said.

Metro passengers are requested to maintain proper decorum while travelling, the DMRC said.

The official further noted that in case, any passenger is found behaving in an indecent manner under the influence of alcohol, suitable action will be taken against them under the relevant provisions of law, officials said.
