'Based on the findings of the report action is likely to be taken by DMRC next week,' Dayal added.

The report was due Wednesday, but the team, which also included two DMRC officials, had asked for an extension.

While details of the inquiry are still unclear, official sources say that the report has blamed DMRC's contractor for the under construction metro rail link, Gammon India.

Another official said that strict action is likely against DMRC officials who were involved in projects on the stretch.
