Metro riders in Delhi will soon be allowed to bring along sealed bottles of alcohol on all lines, matching the options presently offered on the Airport Express Line.

Two sealed bottles of alcohol are now permitted to be brought on the Delhi Metro, according to a statement from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). The prior directive was examined by a committee made up of representatives from the DMRC and the Central Industrial Security Force, the organisation in charge of securing metro installations.
