Delhi Metro has introduced smart lockers at 50 of its stations

 Delhi Metro has introduced smart lockers at 50 of its stations, allowing commuters to safely store their belongings for a few hours.

This service can be accessed via a new mobile app called 'Momentum 2.0,' launched by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). The app offers various features beyond locker rentals, including online purchasing from listed e-commerce companies through 'virtual stores,' sending couriers via smart lockers (digi-lockers), and buying QR code-based tickets. DMRC plans to expand these facilities to the majority of its stations by June 2024.

Commuters using 'Momentum 2.0' can rent a 'smart box' (digi-locker) at 50 stations on Lines 1-7 and the Airport Line. The app provides flexibility in rental durations, and users are charged penalties for exceeding the specified time limits.

The digital lockers aim to enhance the commuter experience, offering a convenient and secure place to store belongings during travels. DMRC's collaboration with AutoPe Payment Solutions enables these services, providing commuters with a range of options beyond traditional travel. The digital lockers are app-powered and eliminate the need for physical locks or keys, making the process seamless.

Additionally, the app offers the convenience of making online purchases from virtual stores, courier services, buying QR code-based metro tickets, and even paying utility bills. It also provides information about station-related details, facilities, transportation options, food outlets, ATMs, and more.

Delhi Metro's initiative seeks to make the commuting experience more efficient and user-friendly, incorporating digital solutions for various services.
