What will digital lockers do?

One of the standout features of 'Momentum 2.0' is the introduction of digital lockers at 50 metro stations. These digital lockers offer a secure solution for passengers who need to store their belongings for a few hours while they travel or attend to their daily tasks. Whether you're headed for a job interview, going to the movies, or simply want to lighten your load during your metro journey, these lockers provide a hassle-free solution.

Affordable cost

The digital lockers are available in three different sizes, each offered at an affordable hourly rate. Small lockers can be rented for Rs. 20 per hour, medium-sized lockers for Rs. 30 per hour, and larger lockers for Rs. 40 per hour.

Rajiv Chowk, Millennium City Centre Gurugram, Dwarka Sector 10, Supreme Court, Pul Bangash, Netaji Subhash Place, Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda), Dilshad Garden, Noida City Centre, Anand Vihar, Tughlakabad, Sarita Vihar, Moolchand, and IP Extension are among the stations featuring digilockers.These lockers are available at 50 stations throughout Lines 1-7 and the Airport Line.

Seamless online purchasing

The 'Momentum 2.0' app simplifies the process of shopping for commuters. It enables users to make online purchases from e-commerce companies through 'virtual stores' located at 20 metro stations. Here's how it works:

- Scan & select: Commuters can scan a QR code displayed at the 'virtual store'. Once scanned, it provides access to a range of products and items available for purchase.

- Payment & delivery: Users can make their selection, proceed with the payment, and even specify their preferred delivery station. This feature eliminates the need to carry bags or packages during the journey, making the commute more comfortable.

Courier services & QR code-based tickets

The 'Momentum 2.0' app also offers courier services, allowing users to send packages without visiting a post office or courier agency. This service is a time-saver, streamlining the process of sending packages and ensuring they reach their destination efficiently.

In addition, commuters can purchase QR code-based tickets for all metro lines, including the Airport Line. This feature simplifies the ticketing process, eliminating the need for multiple apps and providing a one-stop solution for metro travel.

Future expansion plans

Delhi Metro is committed to expanding the 'virtual stores' and 'digi-lockers' facilities to the majority of its stations by June 2024. This expansion ensures that more commuters can benefit from these convenient services, making the metro experience more than just a mode of transportation. It transforms it into a comprehensive solution for a range of daily needs, including storage, shopping, and ticketing.

Delhi Metro continues to set an example as it evolves to meet the needs and expectations of its riders, making the daily journey more enjoyable and hassle-free.
