Abstract
Abstract The effect of proximity to a transit system on property values has become a key issue of debate regarding public infrastructure and economic development. This article aims to examine the impact of selected stations along the Blue line of Delhi Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) on commercial property prices. The research analyzed 1,413 commercial property parcels sold before and after the commissioning of Blue line in 2005. Hedonic Price Analysis (HPA) was used to estimate the effects of proximity to the metro rail on commercial property values. The method was applied to two time periods, i.e., from 2000-2004 and 2005-2008, coinciding with planning and construction (pre-commissioning phase and the operation phase (post-commissioning phase) of metro rail using actual sale prices of commercial units. The results indicate that a station node shows a negative trend during the planning and construction period. However, the operation period has produced a significant price premium associated with commercial properties, connected with improved accessibility. The coefficients indicate that MRTS has induced an increase in prices from INR 732.80 to INR 246.19, and its radius of impact covers an area of approximately 1/2 km from the stations. The methodology and results provide insight with a specific focus on commercial real estate values in other metropolitan cities developing and expanding MRTSs.

This paper investigates the impact of the accessibility to Delhi Metro Rail station on commercial property values (CPVs) using hedonic pricing models
Summary
The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system is the most widely used mode of public transportation and plays a significant role in urban economics and development. Apart from providing public transport and solving traffic congestion, the MRT system contributes to the urban environment and prompts an increase in neighborhood property prices. We are interested in assessing whether individuals are ready to invest more money in commercial properties located in the proximity to a metro rail station in Delhi, India.
