Bhopal Metro Fare Discounts: What the October 2026 Poster Says
MPMRCL's newer poster lists 25 percent off single tickets, 30 percent on returns and 35 percent for groups of two or more. Two posters disagree, so read this first.
In short: MPMRCL has put two discount posters on its website within six weeks, and they do not match. The newer one, a file dated 12 October 2026, lists much larger concessions than the one from 31 August.
The two posters side by side
Ticket
Older poster (31 Aug 2026)
Newer poster (12 Oct 2026)
Single journey
Not mentioned
25% off, but not on the Rs 20 ticket
Return journey

30%
Group of 2 or more
10%
35%
The wallet bonus is the same on both: recharge the MP Metro app with Rs 200 to Rs 499 for 8% extra, Rs 500 to Rs 999 for 10%, Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,499 for 12% and Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000 for 15%. The newer poster prints examples, such as Rs 500 becoming Rs 550. Wallet balance can be used only for metro tickets and is not refundable, according to a news report of 24 April 2026.
Does it work?
The Free Press Journal reported on 20 October 2026 that return and group concessions were introduced on 9 September (the article does not print the year) and that the group minimum was cut from eight to two. It quoted the managing director saying the response had not been overwhelming and put daily ridership at about 500 passengers. That is a news figure, not an official count.
What we could not confirm
Neither poster carries an effective date or an end date, so we do not know whether the offer is permanent. Bhopal fares run from Rs 20 to Rs 40, and the poster excludes the Rs 20 ticket from the single-journey cut. Confirm at the counter before you buy.
