The payment was to be made by Tuesday, as per the court order.
DMRC declined to comment, saying that the matter was sub judice.
The Delhi HC, in its last order dated September 6, directed DMRC to pay entire arbitral award of ₹4,500 crore due to DAMEPL within four weeks.
The court will now hear the matter on Monday, October 10.
This arbitration award is based on an agreement between DMRC and DAMEPL in 2008 to develop and operate the Orange Line of Delhi Metro. DAMEPL was to run the line for 30 years, but it served a termination notice on DMRC, citing issues related to financial viability of the project in October 2012.
The dispute reached an arbitration tribunal that ruled in favour of DAMEPL in May 2017, directing DMRC to pay ₹2,950 crore as compensation along with interest.
DAMEPL, however, claimed a compensation of around ₹4,500 crore, claiming it should receive interest and penalty for the delay in payment according to the pact with DMRC.
The SC in September 2021 upheld the higher arbitration award. DAMEPL subsequently moved the Delhi HC, seeking to direct DMRC to honour the apex court's decision.
