EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The growing demand for public transport in mega cities has serious effects on
urban ecosystems, especially due to the increased atmospheric pollution and
changes in land use patterns. An ecologically sustainable urban transport system
could be obtained by an appropriate mix of alternative modes of transport
resulting in the use of environmentally friendly fuels and land use patterns.
The introduction of CNG in certain vehicles and switching of some portion of the
transport demand to the metro rail have resulted in a significant reduction of
atmospheric pollution in Delhi. The Delhi Metro provides multiple benefits:
reduction in air pollution, time saving to passengers, reduction in accidents,
reduction in traffic congestion and fuel savings.
Delhi Metro has literally broken grounds in the field of urban transportation
when it had begun tunnelling work on the country’s first metro project, the
number of rapid transit networks in India has grown manifold since then.
Clearly, as Delhi’s population boomed, the metro rail came as a boon for
thousands of its residents. DMRC resolved last-minute connectivity hiccups by
introducing feeder buses. In 2018-19, DMRC decided to monetize last-mile
connectivity by launching a separate subsidiary that would operate electric buses
and three wheelers to connect its stations with residential areas. As more people
use the metro, DMRC’s fare box revenue collections—money earned from ticket
sales—have gone up and
8
it is also using the ‘consumer in the commuter’ to boost its non-fare box
revenues, which includes earnings from rentals and advertisement.
Since 2008, DMRC’s fare-box revenues and its non-fare box revenues have
grown at the same pace. In 2017-18, DMRC earned almost Rs 2600 crore in
ticket sales and Rs 3600 as non-fare box revenue. DMRC created an ecosystem
that has generated thousands of jobs not just in construction of railway lines but
also in encouraging ancillary services around the infrastructure created over the
years. DMRC’s ongoing works are valued at almost Rs 19,000 crore, and the
network aims to cover the entire Delhi-NCR region by 2021.
An impediment to Delhi Metro’s future could be the rise in ticket prices. When
fares were hiked in 2017, ridership fell by more than two lakh the next year – the
first time ever in the network’s 17-year operational history.
For this research, methodology adopted was to study the research papers in the
area of FINANCIAL management In PSU’s DMRC.
The financial performance of Delhi Metro done in this paper tries to measure all
the findings and suggestions to enhance the financial performance of Delhi Metro
Rail Corporation.

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC
Financial performance is a subjective measure of how well a firm can use assets from
its primary mode of business and generate revenues. The term is also used as a
general measure of a firm's overall financial health over a given period. There are
many stakeholders in a company, including trade creditors, bondholders, investors,
employees, and management. Each group has an interest in tracking the financial
performance of a company. The financial performance identifies how well a company
generates revenues and manages its assets, liabilities, and the financial interests of its
stakeholders and stockholders.
There are many ways to measure financial performance, but all measures should be
taken in aggregate. Line items, such as revenue from operations, operating
income, or cash flow from operations can be used, as well as total unit sales.
Furthermore, the analyst or investor may wish to look deeper into financial statements
and seek out margin growth rates or any declining debt. Six Sigma methods focus on
this aspect.

The Delhi Metro has also contributed tremendously on the environment front by
becoming the first ever railway project in the world to claim carbon credits for
regenerative braking. DMRC has also been certified by the United Nations (UN) as
the first Metro Rail and Rail based system in the world to get carbon Credits for
reducing Green House gas emissions as it has helped to reduce
12
pollution levels in the city by 6.3 lakh tons every year thus helping in reducing global
warming.
It has also set up roof top solar power plants at many of its stations. All stations of the
presently under construction corridors are being constructed as green buildings. Apart
from providing Delhites with a comfortable public transport option, the Delhi Metro
is also contributing significantly towards controlling pollution as well as reducing
vehicular congestion on the roads.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Literature review
They have been responsible for forming a strong industrial base and providing the
basic infrastructure for development in the country. From an investment in 5
enterprises of Rs. 29 crores in 1950-51.
Investment in 242 Central PSUs has gone up to a staggering Rs. 2.04.054 crores, the
net profit they made was just Rs. 13.725 crores – a return of 6.7 per cent only.
Financial is the most crucial component of the working capital of a firm. Its effective
management is the key determinant of efficient working capital management. It is the
most unproductive of all assets while fixed assets like machinery and plant, etc., and
current assets such as inventory help the business in increasing its earning capacity,
Financial in hand does not add anything to the business concern.
Metro rail projects in India that are currently on sprawl across the states majorly have
a social bent. These generally require heavy investments and often have long recovery
periods. State governments are tied to increase the fares after a point in order to
recover the cost. Therefore, the developer of project has to come up with a model or a
policy that could generate the desired resource. That model utilizes the transit
system as a catalyst and
17
policies as a tool to generate funds which is termed as “real estate levy”. Example of
such models is property development as done by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.
(DMRC). Built up area on the Metro stations or on acquired land is sold to private
investors by the Corporation.
DMRC has been mandated to incur initial 7% cost of the project through property
development, 30 years concession and long- term lease for commercial development
on vacant lands and development on vacant pockets respectively.
India, much like China, is witnessing a rapid growth in urban population. Almost 60%
of Indians are estimated to be living in urban areas by 2050. India saw its first metro
system open in Kolkata in 1984.
Delhi metro was the next to open in 2002 and has now become the longest metro
system in the country and the 10th longest in the world. Indian cities have operational
metro systems.
Financial year 2020–2021 is likely to be disastrous for the financials of metro rail
JVCs as metros were locked down for more than 6 months because of the COVID-19
pandemic. Even though the metro services had been resumed in October 2020, the
ridership had been adversely affected by social distancing requirements. Estimates
suggest that instead of 1,800–2,000 passengers, a typical metro train in Delhi is
carrying 350–400 passengers to ensure social distancing, implying a carrying capacity
of metros of about a fifth of the business-as-usual levels.

RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
27
Research methodology
Researcher adopt different available research methodologies that suits their study
better. Research as a scientific tool helps these researchers to measure sample data
with as minimum as possible biases and much higher accuracy rate. This helps them
to confidently put forth a conclusion to the society knowing that the data gathered is
legit and the results drawn from the studies are systematic and statistically sensible.
Researchers adopt various methods of research which best suits their study. Research
is a creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge, including
knowledge of humans, culture, and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise
new applications, or on the other hand. Research is a process of steps used to collect and
analyze information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue. At a general level, the
research consists of three steps:
1. Pose a question.
These are basics three steps to do one’s research and present it and collect the
data recorded. If the research has to be more intense and bigger the following
steps can be followed by the researchers:
4. Identification of research problem
5. Literature review
28
12. Analysing and interpreting the data
The above steps are in systematic order to help the researcher collect data and
understand it. The steps generally represent the overall process; however, they
should be viewed as an ever-changing iterative process rather than a fixed set of
steps.
29
Figure 5.1
The above figure shows us the different sources of data collection that is,
primary
data and secondary data. The process of collecting them is different as shown
in the above figure, but these data are very important for carrying out the
research and completing this project.
Hence, these data are very important for any researcher.
Primary Data
Primary data is the kind of data that is collected directly from the data source without
going through any existing sources. It is mostly collected specially for a research
project and may be shared publicly to be used for another research. Primary data is
often reliable, authentic, and objective in as much as it was collected with the
purpose of addressing a particular research problem. It is noteworthy that primary
data is not commonly collected because of the high cost of implementation. A
common example of primary data is the data collected by organizations during market
research, product research, and competitive analysis.
30
This data is collected directly from its original source which in most cases are the
existing and potential customers. Most of the people who collect primary data are
government authorized agencies, investigators, research-based private institutions,
etc.
Pros
Primary data is specific to the needs of the researcher at the moment of data
collection. The researcher is able to control the kind of data that
is being collected.
It is accurate compared to secondary data. The data is not subjected to
personal bias and as such the authenticity can be trusted.
The researcher exhibits ownership of the data collected through
primary research. He or she may choose to make it available
publicly, patent it, or even sell it.
Primary data is usually up to date because it collects data in real-time
and does not collect data from old sources.
The researcher has full control over the data collected through primary
research. He can decide which design, method, and data analysis techniques to
be used.
Cons
Secondary Data
Secondary data is the data that has been collected in the past by someone else but
made available for others to use. They are usually once primary data but become
secondary when used by a third party.
31
Secondary data are usually easily accessible to researchers and individuals because
they are mostly shared publicly. This, however, means that the data are usually
general and not tailored specifically to meet the researcher’s needs as primary data
does. For example, when conducting a research thesis, researchers need to consult
past works done in this field and add findings to the literature review. Some other
things like definitions and theorems are secondary data that are added to the thesis to
be properly referenced and cited accordingly. Some common sources of secondary
data include trade publications, government statistics, journals, etc. In most cases,
these sources cannot be trusted as authentic.
Pros
Secondary data is easily accessible compared to primary data. Secondary data
is available on different platforms that can be accessed by the researcher.
Secondary data is very affordable. It requires little to no cost to acquire them
because they are sometimes given out for free.
The time spent on collecting secondary data is usually very little compared to
that of primary data.
Secondary data makes it possible to carry out longitudinal studies without
having to wait for a long time to draw conclusions.
It helps to generate new insights into existing primary data.
Cons
Secondary data may not be authentic and reliable. A researcher may need to
further verify the data collected from the available sources.
Researchers may have to deal with irrelevant data before finally finding the
required data.
Some of the data is exaggerated due to the personal bias of the data source.
Secondary data sources are sometimes outdated with no new data to replace
the old ones.

33
IN THIS PROJECT SECONDARY DATA IS USED
It provides a basis for comparison for the data that is collected by the
researcher. But also, Secondary data is something that seldom fits in the
framework of the marketing research factors. Accuracy of secondary data is
not known and Data maybe outdated.
With the onset of the pandemic, it is difficult to meet people and listen to their
ideologies, as there are fewer people in the streets. These secondary data have
been presented in this project and also explained side by side.
Comparing both the advantages and disadvantages, it was clear that the project
has to be made through the method of secondary data. As convenient as it may
sound, the first-hand information was tough or nearly impossible to get for the
project and hence, the whole project is based on secondary data.
Methods used:
I. Before beginning secondary research, the topic that needs research was
identified. Once that was done, the research attributes and its purpose
were listed down.
II. Next, the information sources that will provide most relevant data
34
and information applicable to the research were narrowed down.
III. Once the data collection sources were narrowed down, a check was
conducted for any previous data that is available which is closely
related to the topic. Data related to research can be obtained from
various sources like newspapers, public libraries, government and non-
government agencies etc.
One of the most popular ways of collecting secondary data is using the
internet. Data is readily available on the internet and can be
downloaded at the click of a button.
This data is practically free of cost or one may have to pay a negligible
amount to download the already existing data. Moreover, only
authentic and trusted websites are used to collect information in this
project.
IV. Once data was collected, the data was combined and compared for any
duplication and was assembled into a usable format. Make sure to
collect data from authentic sources. Incorrect data can hamper research
severely.
V. Collected data was analyzed and identification was done to make sure
if all questions are answered. If not, the process was repeated in case
there was a need to dwell further into actionable insights.

has degraded in complying with its operating activities which mans the revenue from
operations is decreasing.
Cash flow from investing activities signifies that the Delhi metro railway corporation
of India has invested in fixed assets. Investment in terms of purchasing fixed assets
and investing and non- current trade receivables, which helps the government owned
business to earn more profit.
Net Cash has increased from (523673.51) to 51225.88 lakhs from the year 2020 to
2021.
There is a decrease in the cash used in financing activities by the Delhi Metro Rail
Corporation of India from 283332.10 to 10665.31 in the years 2020 and 2021
respectively.
This shows the decrease in issue of shares by the company and also the company is
more prone to debt as its long- term borrowings have reasonably increased.
This will decrease the shareholder satisfaction and make them invest less in the
company.

FINDINGS AND INFERENCES
I. The current ratio compares a firm’s current assets with its current liabilities. It
measures, whether the firm has enough resources for the next 12 months to
pay its debts. Here the current ratio has increased from 0.27 to 0.36.
II. Debt Equity Ratio increased in the year 2021. A high debt equity ratio
generally means that a company has been aggressive in financing it’s growth
with debt. This can result in volatile earnings as a result of additional interest
expense.
III. The quick ratio is an indicator of a company’s short – term liquidity position
and measures a company’s ability to meet its short -term obligations with its
most liquid assets.
The quick ratio is considered a more conservative measure then the current
ratio which includes all current assets as coverage for current liabilities.
The quick ratio in the year 2020 was 0.26 and in the year 2021 was
0.35. This indicates that the company’s liquidity position in the year 2021 has
seen a decline as compared to the year 2020.
IV. Return Equity Ratio is an important ratio that financial investors can use
to determine how efficient management is at utilizing equity financing
provided by the shareholders. It compares the net income to the equity of the
firm.
The higher the number the better but it is important to compare the companies
that operate in the same industry.
The ROI in the year 2021 was higher at (0.021) as compared to (0.132) in the
year 2020 which shows that the company showed greater efficiency in
management in the year 2021.
V. Gross Profit Ratio helps to measure how much profit a company makes from
the sale of goods and services after deducting the direct costs. It is a simple
method to measure the company’s profitability. A higher ratio indicates that
the company is producing more efficiently.
51
Any significant changes in this ratio can sometimes indicate poor company
management.
In the year 2021, the gross profit ratio was (108.022) and in the year 2020,
was (8.67). This shows that the company showed a higher profitability margin
in the year 2020 and suffered a significant decline in the year 2021.
VI. Inventory turnover ratio is a measure of how many times the inventory is
sold and replaced over a given period. In general, the higher the ratio number
the better as it often indicates strong sales. Similarly, a lower ratio can point to
weak sales and / or decreasing market demand for goods.
The inventory turnover ratio in the year 2021 has rapidly declined to
10.16 as compared to 30.74 in the year 2020.
This signifies that the sales in the year 2021 were heavily affected due to the
pandemic and various other factors and have reasonably declined.
VII. Working capital turnover ratio is a ratio that measures how efficiently
company is using its working capital to support sales and growth.
A higher turnover ratio shows that management is being very efficient in
using a company’s short- term assets and liabilities for supporting sales. The
working capital turnover ratio has seen a steady decline in the DMRC from
0.28 in 2020 to (0.145) in 2021.
This further shows that the company hasn’t been very efficient in using its
short- term assets and liabilities to contribute to its revenue.
VIII. The total debt to asset ratio has decreased from 0.636 to 0.065. This dictates
the firm’s ability of decreasing its loans and expenditure.
IX. Cash flow from operating activities has decreased from (69211.34) lakhs
in the year ended 31st March 2021 from 236726.65.
By this, we get to know the company has degraded in complying with its
operating activities which mans the revenue from operations is decreasing.
X. Cash flow from investing activities signifies that the Delhi metro railway
corporation of India has invested in fixed assets.
52
Investment in terms of purchasing fixed assets and investing and non- current
trade receivables, which helps the government owned business to earn more
profit. Net Cash has increased from (523673.51) to 51225.88 lakhs from the
year 2020 to 2021.
XI. There is a decrease in the cash used in financing activities by the Delhi Metro
Rail Corporation of India from 283332.10 to 10665.31 in the years 2020 and
2021 respectively.
This shows the decrease in issue of shares by the company and also the
company is more prone to debt as its long- term borrowings have reasonably
increased. This will decrease the shareholder satisfaction and make them
invest less in the company.

LIMITATIONS OF THE
STUDY
54
Limitations of the study
Time constraint
In its essence time is a limited resource and in a project setting this could not be any
truer. The time constraint limits the project in two ways – deadlines and resources.
Firstly, the project had a set timeline and a date when it has to be submitted.
While cost and scope constraints can be adjusted a little more easily, moving the
deadline or finding more people to work on your project can be challenging. This is
why keeping to the time constraint has played such a big role in this project’s success.
Time factor has been a very big limitation in the research like this. The time provided
To do the project wasn't enough and more time could have been given.
Vast Data
There was too much data, hence it was difficult to fit everything and explain
everything i n this project. Due to this limited access, you might need to redesign
or restructure your research in a different way.
Access
It was difficult to access most of the data, as some of the data was restricted or
the site didn't let open the information. Hence, some data could not be found
because of the restrictions.

Recommendations and conclusions
CONCLUSIONS
The study on the topic 'A study on financial performance of DMRC' is done and it is
important to summarize it and help our readers understand the topic in a
comprehensive way.
Delhi is the capital of India and has a population of around 16 million people
and until recently this huge cosmopolitan city had to rely on the existing roads
for transport. The total length of roads in Delhi was around 1623 kilometres in
2005. There was always a problem from the ever-increasing number of
vehicles plying on its roads.
The number of personal motor vehicles has increased rapidly to 4 million by
2005. The public transport already in place couldn’t cope with the growing
number of vehicles.
This existing mass transport system was found to be inadequate to tackle the
congestion on roads and the ever-increasing pollution caused by automobiles.
Stifling road traffic congestion, large population, had become an economic
liability. With more motor vehicles than Mumbai, Calcutta and Chennai
combined, overcrowding and pollution was threatening the capital’s ability to
reach its potential in the rapidly expanding Indian economy.
Thus, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) was set up. Government of
India joined hands with Government of its capital city, Delhi to establish
DMRC on 5 March 1995, to build a rail-based metro transport system in the
city that will alleviate Delhi’s ever growing transport congestion and vehicular
pollution.
57
Construction started on this project in October 1998 after more than forty
years of studies into a rail-based mass transit system and the first phase was
completed in December 2004.
It was designed to integrate with other public transport. It is to be constructed
in four phases which will cover approximately 245 kilometres and is
scheduled to be finished in year 2021.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation is one of the four metros in the world to
have operating profits among 135 metros globally.
It started generating profits ever since it became operational. Building the
metro rail system in Delhi has been a massive construction project drawing
workers from across India. DMRC’s responsibility not only consists of
construction but also of its operation and maintenance.
It employs 350 staff in its construction department and 3000 personnel in
operation and maintenance. Led by the understated Elattuvalapil Sreedharan, a
77-year-old civil engineer, the subway enjoys strong government support and
is not shackled by the delays, cost-overruns and red tape that have plagued big
projects in India for decades.
Recommendations
58
saving, reduction in pollution, road accidents decreased, safe and comfortable
travel for passengers.
VI. Almost 100% of trains arrive on time at platforms, quite strange in
Indian environment.
VII. The stations are cool, quiet and there is no vendor operating his unlicensed
stall and shouting as seen in almost all stations in India.
