Paytm has tied up with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). As a part of the agreement, Delhi Metro travellers will be able to recharge their metro cards via Paytm and DMRC website. The announcement was made on the company’s blog and the service was also launched. The move is made in a bid to make traveling by Metro a hassle free experience for over 2.3 Mn commuters that use the Metro train service on a daily basis.

The company statement said that it hopes the move will not only reduce the check-in time of passengers but will also motivate other daily commuters who travel on their own to take up Metro as their preferred way to commute. The metro cards can be recharged through Paytm’s app, website, and also via DMRC website.
