Uber has entered into a strategic partnership with the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) to provide app-based last-mile connectivity along the Delhi–Ghaziabad–Meerut Namo Bharat corridor, India’s first regional rapid transit system. Designed as a high-speed, high-capacity commuter rail service, Namo Bharat aims to transform travel in the National Capital Region (NCR) by offering fast, comfortable, and reliable connectivity between regional hubs.
Seamless Travel Experience for Namo Bharat Riders
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Uber’s fleet of cars, autos, and two-wheelers will be available at all currently operational Namo Bharat stations, including Anand Vihar, Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, and Meerut South. As additional stretches of the corridor are commissioned, the service will expand to cover all 25 stations on the route. Riders can look forward to designated pickup points, clear directional signage, and in-train announcements to ensure smooth transitions from train to road.
To encourage adoption, Uber has introduced introductory discounts for new users. Commuters can avail up to 25% off on their first five cab rides (up to Rs 75 each) and 50% off on their first five moto rides (up to Rs 30 each), valid for 15 days from signup. These offers aim to deliver immediate benefits while familiarizing riders with the integrated travel experience.
Manish Bindrani, Head of Supply at Uber India & South Asia, highlighted the significance of the initiative saying, “We are proud to support one of India’s most ambitious transit projects. By enabling integrated last-mile mobility, we’re advancing shared transportation, reducing reliance on private vehicles, and helping cities meet climate and congestion goals. Our aim is to make it easy for every Namo Bharat train rider to complete their journey—whether to an office in Delhi or a home in Meerut.”
Advancing Sustainable Urban Mobility in NCR
This partnership reinforces Uber’s global mission to collaborate with public transport systems and drive sustainable, tech-enabled mobility solutions. By providing multimodal connections, the initiative will reduce dependency on private vehicles, cut emissions, and ease traffic congestion across NCR, aligning with India’s vision of cleaner and more liveable cities.
The Namo Bharat corridor is expected to cut travel time between Delhi and Meerut to one-third of current levels and cater to over 8 lakh daily commuters once fully operational. The NCRTC, a joint venture between the Government of India and the states of Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, is spearheading the project under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
Uber’s growing transit portfolio already includes metro ticketing in Delhi, with upcoming plans for Chennai and Mumbai. Its collaboration with NCRTC underscores its commitment to supporting government-led mobility initiatives while enhancing convenience and sustainability for riders across India.
