The corporation had benefited from various tax sops in the phase I too. The tax benefits sought by the urban development ministry for DMRCs Phase II include a customs duty waiver of Rs 605.34 crore, excise duty exemption of Rs 352.24 crore, tax waiver of Rs 146.63 crore and another Rs 90.93 crore as work contract tax exemption.
