Delhi Metro partners with Airtel Payments Bank to offer new recharging facility – Times of India

Delhi Metro has partnered with Airtel Payments Bank to provide one more metro smart card top-up facility to its commuters. The top-up (recharge) facility of Delhi Metro’s Smart Cards will now be possible through the Airtel Payments Bank. This new initiative by the Delhi Metro and Airtel Payments Bank is focused on contributing to the government’s vision for Digital India and Financial Inclusion. This new facility will offer Delhi Metro commuters another option to recharge their smart cards through their mobile phones. Airtel claims that these transactions will be completely safe and the app will save the card and net banking details only once. The company also promises that recharges done through this option will also be fast and convenient.
How Delhi Metro Smart Card users can recharge smart cards using Airtel Payments Bank
Delhi Metro Smart Card users can recharge the smart card in three steps:
1. Select the Metro Recharge icon in the Bank section on the Airtel Thanks App.
2. Enter the DMRC Smart Card number, followed by the recharge amount and make the payment.
3. Tap the Smart Card on Add Value Machine at the metro station to sync the card before usage.
Other initiatives by Delhi Metro
In the recent past, DMRC has already launched various other initiatives to facilitate easy top-up of smart cards/sale of tokens to avoid queues and save time at stations. This includes the option of Smart Card top-up through TVMs, the launch of Metro Combo cards with other banks, Credit/Debit card transaction facility at stations, Net banking using dmrcsmartcard.com, mobile e-wallets and more.

Bharti Airtel is also planning to list the Airtel Payments Bank. The company’s banking platform has already turned profitable and is “growing in healthy double digits,” a top official said to The Economic Times. Airtel might also be planning to monetise its data centre business at some stage.
