Soon all Delhi metro stations will have ATMs. In a move that will benefit daily commuters as well as enhance revenue earned by the corporation, Delhi Metro is preparing to install at least one ATM in every station on its network.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has invited expression of interest from banks and non-bank entities to install ATMs in Metro stations across Delhi and NCR.
"Currently, 175 stations already have one or more ATMs, but with the rapid expansion in 2018, the idea is to cover the entire network with the ATM facility in 2019," said a DMRC official, as reported by Economic Times.
To provide last-mile connectivity for travellers, DMRC started service in collaboration with cab aggregators, Ola and Uber through the kiosks at the stations in December. The kiosks will provide the commuters with booking facility, information about location and status of the booked cabs.
Currently, the Delhi Metro spans over 317 km with 231 stations.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
