Hi Sarbajit - good cause, let us follow it up?
The case we can make is this:-
1) Delhi Metro is a "Public Authority" not deniable.
2) The right to fresh air and sweet/drinking water as per below is enshrined and ipso facto becomes incumbent on all public authorities to ensure provision of same (read both together, not separately)
3)Therefore ALL public authorities are bound by the Constitution to provide fresh air and sweet water.
Now, is this free or is this at a price?
Is fresh air priced? No, it is free.
Therefore, sweet potable drinking water also has to be free.
With a little tweaking, this can become an electoral issue.
I will also search the Railway Act for this?

Here's some ammo:-
India
The Supreme Court has ruled that both water and sanitation are part of the constitutional right to life (Article 21). The Court has stated that 'the right to access to clean drinking water is fundamental to life and there is a duty on the state under Article 21to provide clean drinking water to its citizens' A.P. Pollution Control Board II v Prof. M.V. Naidu and Others (Civil Appeal Nos. 368-373 of 1999).
