RFID token: RFID tokens are valid only for a single journey on the

day of purchase and the value depends on the distance travelled,

with fares for a single journey ranging from ₹10 (13¢ US) to ₹60
(75¢ US). Fares are calculated based on the distance between the
origin and destination stations. They were last revised by DMRC in
October 2017.[142]
Smart card: Smart cards are available for longer durations and are
the most convenient for frequent commuters. They are valid for
ten years from the date of purchase or the date of the last
recharge and are available in denominations of ₹200 (US$2.50) to
₹3,000 (US$37.60). A 10% discount is given on all travel made on
it. An additional 10% discount is given to travel card holders for
entering the metro system in off-peak hours i.e. From the start of
revenue services to 800 hours, from 1200 hours to 1700 hours,
and after 2100 hours to the end of metro service in the night. This
additional discount is given only on Weekdays i.e. from Monday to
Saturday.[145] A deposit of ₹50 (63¢ US) needs to be made to buy
a new card which is refundable on the return of the card any time
before its expiry if the card is not physically damaged.[146] For
women commuters, Delhi government had proposed a fare
exemption scheme, i.e., that women could ride free all across all
of Delhi Metro's network.[147] However, this proposal was shot
down by the DMRC.[148]
