Delhi Metro has introduced a QR code-based ticketing facility through the Paytm app across all lines, officials said today.

This expansion of the innovative service was inaugurated by Vikas Kumar, the Managing Director of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), according to an official statement.

With this new feature, commuters can now get the mobile QR ticket on the Paytm app under the ‘Delhi Metro’ section, by simply entering the station of entry and destination on the day of the journey, it added.

Passengers can just hold their smartphone in front of the QR code scanner of the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) gates at both entry and exit stations to proceed with the journey. Earlier this facility was available only on the Airport Express Line, it added.

Mr Kumar noted that this expansion is a significant step towards providing efficient and stress-free transportation to the vast number of metro commuters in the national capital.
