National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) service to kick off from Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line

In a bid to complement the vison of PM Modi for getting One nation, one mobility card. The idea of NCMC was floated by the Nandan Nilekani committee set up by the Reserve Bank of India.NCMC is an automatic fare collection system

 

NCMC can be used at all transit locations making all new metro and transit payments interoperable via one card. NCMC will allow passengers with RuPay debit card, issued in the last 18 months by 23 banks, including SBI, UCO Bank, Canara Bank, Punjab National Bank etc, to be swiped for Metro travel.

 

It will turn smartphones into an inter-operable transport card that commuters can use eventually to pay for Metro, bus and suburban railways services.

 

NCMC service is slated to cover the entire 400km stretch of Delhi Metro. It will allow entry and exit from Metro stations with the help of a smartphone, known as the automatic fare collection (AFC) system. In the upcoming Delhi Metro Phase-IV project, the AFC system will fully accept NCMC, which can also be used in any city across the country.

 

The Nilekani committee had suggested that NCMC should contain two instruments – a regular debit card which can be used at an ATM and a local wallet, which can be used for contactless payments, without the need to go back to the server or additional authentication.
