Datamatics, a global Digital Technologies, Operations and Experiences company, said on 15 April 2026 that it had been appointed as the implementing partner for Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) and mobile ticketing systems on Phase one of the Mumbai Metro lines two B and nine. The company said the AFC installation enabled faster entry and exit with automatic fare deduction and supported both QR coded tickets and a common mobility card. Phase one of both lines was inaugurated on eight April 2026 by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis, and the Deputy Chief Minister, Shri Eknath Shinde. Datamatics said the appointment extended its existing association with the network, having implemented AFC systems for Mumbai Metro lines two A and seven. The firm said its technology aimed to improve urban mobility and that being headquartered in Mumbai added significance to the work. It added that the solutions were designed to cope with high passenger volumes during peak periods. The company stated it had completed more than 30 AFC projects globally, including deployments in London and New York, and that it had delivered a solution for the Memphis Area Transit Authority in the United States. In India, the firm noted turnkey AFC deliveries for the Mumbai Metro, the Delhi?Meerut regional rapid transit system, the Kolkata Metro, the Pune Metro, the Lucknow Metro and the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi shrine cable car in Jammu. These projects were cited as evidence of its urban mobility capability. Datamatics said its portfolio spanned three pillars—Digital Technologies, Digital Operations and Digital Experiences—and highlighted products in Intelligent Document Processing, Robotic Process Automation and AI/ML models, alongside Smart Workflows and Business Intelligence. The company said it served a diverse global clientele across banking, financial services, insurance, healthcare and manufacturing, and that it maintained a presence across four continents with significant delivery centres in the United States, India and the Philippines.
