The Bhopal‑Indore Metro has introduced the National Common Mobility Card priced at Rs 50, allowing passengers to use it on metros in several Indian cities and offering up to 25% fare discount under eligible conditions.
The Bhopal‑Indore Metro corridor has begun issuing the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) at a nominal price of Rs 50 per card. The card is designed to function as a unified ticketing medium across participating metro systems in India, eliminating the need for separate smart cards for each city.
Travelers can now tap the NCMC at entry gates of the Bhopal and Indore metro lines, and, subject to the card’s activation and balance requirements, the same card can be used on metros in other major cities that have adopted the scheme. The rollout aligns with the central government's push for a seamless, cash‑less public transport experience nationwide.
Under the card’s terms, users who meet specific usage criteria may receive a fare concession of up to 25 percent, encouraging regular commuters to adopt the NCMC. The initiative is expected to boost ridership, simplify fare collection, and promote interoperability among urban transit networks.
Metro authorities have set up dedicated kiosks at major stations for card purchase and recharging. The launch was announced by the Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation, which highlighted the card’s potential to streamline travel for daily commuters and tourists alike.
The NCMC rollout is part of a broader national effort to integrate payment systems across public transport, aiming for a unified mobility ecosystem by the end of the decade.
