Earlier on February 15, metro services in Delhi were badly hit as movements of seven trains were affected with four round trip cancellations, two delays and one partial cancellation on the Violet Line due to erratic power supply.

On June 18, Delhi Metro services were affected after a catenary wire snapped on the Blue Line which is the longest route in Delhi Metro and connects Dwarka and Noida. The snapping of wire took place near Noida Sector-15 station. Recently, the train services on Blue Line were severely affected as a portion of overhead wiring of the network sagged after being hit by an eagle, which also triggered a short circuit.
