Delhi Metro Users Can Now Book Their Tickets On IRCTC App

"This joint initiative will enhance the travel experience of railway passengers by allowing them to book Delhi Metro tickets at the rail ticket confirmation page, clubbing it either with source or destination station falling in Delhi/NCR region. The passengers can also book Delhi Metro tickets at a later stage via the booking history page. Flexible cancellations have also been ensured," the company said.

The DMRC has introduced a feature allowing passengers to book single-journey tickets up to 120 days in advance, synchronised with the Indian Railways' Advance Reservation Period. Previously restricted to same-day booking, these QR code-based tickets will now offer validity spanning four days: the day before, the travel date, and two days after the journey.

Each railway passenger will receive a DMRC QR code in their Electronic Reservation Slip issued by IRCTC upon ticket purchase.
