Good news for Delhi Metro commuters! Ditch the fumbling for cash – hopping on the metro just got easier. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has teamed up with Airtel Payments Bank to offer a wave of digital payment solutions.
Imagine this: a single card that unlocks seamless travel across all Delhi Metro lines, including the Airport Express. That’s the magic of the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC)! Airtel Payments Bank will now process transactions for NCMC cards, no matter which bank issued them.
But wait, there’s more! These NCMC cards will be available at metro stations, letting you breeze through not just your metro rides, but also other public transport systems that use the open loop system across India. Need to grab some groceries or make an online purchase? No problem! The card works for ATM withdrawals and e-commerce transactions too.
“This partnership is a game-changer for our commuters,” said Vikas Kumar, Managing Director of DMRC. “It means a smoother, hassle-free journey for everyone in the National Capital Region.”
The vision? “One Nation, One Card,” as Anubrata Biswas, MD and CEO of Airtel Payments Bank, puts it. This collaboration is a big leap towards that goal, offering a wider range of services and reaching a broader user base.
So, ditch the bulky wallets and embrace the future of travel. Delhi Metro and Airtel Payments Bank are making your commute a breeze!
