Officials attributed strong uptake in these areas to enrolment drives and outreach. A special activation drive will continue over the coming weeks to convert registrations into active cards.

State transport minister Pratap Sarnaik said the response reflected growing acceptance of digital public transport and that instructions had been issued to accelerate activation of remaining registered cards to ensure eligible passengers received benefits. Officials reported that women, senior and Amrit senior citizens would require the NCMC smart card to claim concessions from August one. A Pune resident in their seventies welcomed the measure and indicated they had completed registration, suggesting others should follow. Authorities emphasised the convenience of a single digital card for travel and efficiency gains in boarding and fare processing.

The corporation also highlighted its broader aim to integrate with national mobility systems and to reduce cash handling on buses. Officials said technical support would be provided at enrolment centres. Further updates will be issued before the deadline.
