Ghaziabad News: The ticketing systems of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) have been integrated so that NaMo Bharat Train passengers do not face any hassle in booking tickets in Delhi Metro and Delhi Metro passengers do not face any hassle in booking tickets for NaMo Bharat Train.
The MoU was signed between DMRC and NCRTC on Wednesday to facilitate seamless travel to the residents of Delhi-NCR. The effort is in line with the ‘One India – One Ticket’ initiative that will allow passengers to book QR code tickets for both NaMo Bharat and Delhi Metro services on a single platform. The MoU was signed in the presence of NCRTC Managing Director Shalabh Goel and DMRC Managing Director Dr Vikas Kumar.
You can buy Metro and Namo Bharat tickets from the same app
Under the integrated ticketing system, passengers booking Namo Bharat train tickets from the RRTS Connect app can also buy Delhi Metro tickets along with it. Similarly, Namo Bharat train tickets can also be bought from the DMRC mobile app to book metro tickets. This collaboration will create Delhi Metro QR CODE on the RRTS Connect app and Namo Bharat QR CODE on the DMRC mobile app, which will greatly improve the passenger experience.

Start of integration of transport modes
This initiative is in line with the PM National Gati Shakti Master Plan, which envisages seamless integration between various transport modes. RRTS stations are being strategically integrated with existing railway stations, metro stations and bus depots, creating a comprehensive network of transport. This agreement will eliminate the need to switch between different ticketing apps while traveling between NCRTC and DMRC networks. This initiative promotes rail-based green transport for travel in Delhi-NCR.
Go anywhere in NCR, a single app will work
The currently operational 42 km RRTS corridor is seamlessly connected to the 393 km DMRC network, providing passengers with an integrated and efficient ticketing and travel experience across NCR. This integration encourages the use of public transport, which is critical to increasing passenger-numbers and ensuring the long-term sustainability of these large-scale projects.
All efforts are being made to reduce travel time
This initiative comes after a similar agreement was recently signed between NCRTC and IRCTC for booking Namo Bharat train tickets on the IRCTC platform. Namo Bharat Train, with a design speed of 180 km/h and an operational speed of up to 160 km/h, reduces travel time in the region by one-third. The target is to operate Namo Bharat train services on the 82 km long RRTS corridor of Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut by June 2025, which will enable people to travel between Delhi and Meerut in less than an hour.
