DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) has partnered with Ola Money, a digital payment solution from Ola. The partnership aims at widening the digital payment options for millions of DMRC customers. The integration will allow DMRC commuters to recharge their metro cards directly from the Ola Money app. Additionally, the commuters can also avail the option to choose to pay from their Ola Money wallet at the DMRC website.

The Delhi Metro system is hailed as the pioneer in introducing comfortable, air conditioned and eco-friendly services in India, that has gone on to revolutionize the mass transportation scenario across the entire country. Recently, the cumulative ridership of the Delhi Metro crossed the one billion mark, consolidating DMRC’s position as one of the top 10 Metro systems in the world. More than 70% of total Delhi metro riders use metro cards and recharge it on a regular basis. With a significant portion of current DMRC customers also using Ola for their transportation needs, the integration with Ola’s e-wallet, Ola Money, is a major partnership aimed at providing additional digital payment options to millions of commuters.
