RuPay On-The-Go Simplifies Transit with Seamless Payment Solutions

The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has introduced the 'RuPay On-The-Go' campaign to spotlight its RuPay National Common Mobility Card (NCMC), a cutting-edge payment solution designed to tackle the challenges of India's diverse transit ticketing systems. The campaign positions RuPay NCMC as a fast, efficient, and hassle-free payment option for daily commutes, aiming to make public transportation more convenient for millions of Indians.

RuPay NCMC stands out with its unified and open-loop design, allowing payments for various transit services, including metros, buses, tolls, parking, and even retail purchases. Its interoperable framework ensures that users can travel seamlessly across different systems using a single card. A unique stored value function enables offline transactions, ensuring uninterrupted journeys even in areas with limited internet connectivity.

Currently, RuPay NCMC is operational in major metro networks across cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Kanpur, and supports bus services in cities such as Mumbai (B.E.S.T), Guwahati, Haryana, Jammu, Srinagar, Himachal Pradesh, and Aurangabad. This extensive reach underscores its potential to revolutionize public transportation by simplifying payment processes and enhancing accessibility for commuters.

Kunal Kalawatia, Chief of Products at NPCI, emphasized the transformative nature of RuPay NCMC, stating, “RuPay On-The-Go is not just about payments; it’s about creating a lifestyle enabler for those who demand efficiency and convenience. By expanding this contactless payment solution across metros and buses, we aim to redefine daily commutes, making them faster, smoother, and more reliable."

The campaign resonates with individuals who value speed and simplicity in their daily routines, offering them a solution that integrates seamlessly into their lifestyle. By addressing the existing pain points in India's transit systems, RuPay NCMC ensures faster entry and exit for commuters, eliminating the need for multiple cards or cash transactions.

This initiative reflects NPCI’s commitment to fostering digital transformation in the public transportation sector. As India embraces smart cities and innovative technologies, the RuPay NCMC aligns perfectly with the vision of a cashless economy, simplifying life for commuters and paving the way for a more efficient transit experience.

With its robust infrastructure and extensive adoption across key transit networks, the RuPay NCMC is poised to become the go-to solution for seamless travel in India.
