From 12 November, the Bhopal‑Indore Metro will accept the National Common Mobility Card, a Rs 50 smart card that gives commuters a 25% discount on every ride and eliminates ticket‑purchase queues.
The Bhopal‑Indore Metro system is set to roll out the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) on 12 November. The card, priced at Rs 50, will function as a reusable smart ticket for metro passengers.
Each journey made with the NCMC will attract a 25% fare reduction, providing a tangible cost saving for daily commuters. In addition, the card eliminates the need to stand in line for paper tickets, streamlining the boarding process.
The introduction aligns with the broader national push to standardise electronic payment across public transport, allowing riders to use a single card for multiple modes where the NCMC is accepted. Officials expect the move to boost ridership and improve overall passenger experience on the Bhopal‑Indore corridor.
