The Metro Monday initiative was launched in New Delhi on May 19, 2026, by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. The campaign was introduced under the broader “Mera Bharat, Mera Yogdan” initiative to encourage fuel conservation and increase the use of public transportation amid concerns related to the West Asia conflict. Several administrative measures accompanied the initiative, including work-from-home arrangements for government employees, revised office timings, and a freeze on official foreign visits. Citizens were also encouraged to observe a weekly No Vehicle Day. The initiative highlights Delhi’s focus on sustainable urban mobility, energy conservation, and reducing traffic congestion and pollution.
