There is good news for the passengers traveling by Delhi Metro. Now traveling by Delhi Metro is going to be even easier. Actually, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is ready to introduce a new digital feature.
After this, you will not need to keep a physical smart card. Soon a new virtual smart card system is going to come for Delhi Metro.
This feature will be available through DMRC Momentum 2.0 as well as existing platforms providing Delhi Metro QR ticket facility like WhatsApp, Paytm, Amazon Pay and One Delhi.
Existing QR code tickets are valid only for single journey
In simple terms, the existing QR code is valid only for a single journey, passengers have to get a new QR code for every journey. Passengers will be able to use the same QR code for multiple journeys through virtual smart cards.

Virtual smart card will not be limited to a single journey
DMRC Managing Director Vikas Kumar told PTI, “We are planning to introduce QR for stored value. It will be like a traditional card which will not be limited to a single journey. It will also reduce the number of paper prints.”
How will the virtual smart card work?
The Delhi Metro virtual smart card will work just like the physical smart card available at metro counters. It can be stored on a smartphone. Passengers can top up their QR wallet using the DMRC mobile app and use the stored value to generate a QR code for travel.
Card balance will remain safe even if mobile is lost
Your virtual smart card balance will be stored safely in the app. Even if you lose your mobile, you can log in on another device to access your card funds.
