Delhi Metro: Smart cards to be replaced with national common mobility cards

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will introduce Open Loop National Common Mobility Cards (NCMC) in a phased manner, which allows metro and bus travellers to use the same card across the country, the Parliament was informed on Monday.

The NCMC will replace the current Closed Loop Delhi Metro Smart Cards. In a written reply to Rajya Sabha, Minister of State in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs Kausal Kishore said that the NCMC cards are customer-friendly, convenient and allow cashless transactions.

"Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has plans to replace Closed Loop Delhi Metro Smart Cards with Open Loop National Common Mobility Cards (NCMC) in a phased manner," he said.
