DMRC Partners with Mappls to Enhance Metro Travel Experience

06 Nov 2025 CW Team

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mappls MapmyIndia, a leading digital mapping and geospatial technology firm, to integrate DMRC’s API with the Mappls App.

Under this partnership, Delhi Metro data will be incorporated into the Mappls platform to enhance commuter convenience across the Delhi-NCR region. With the integration, over 35 million Mappls users will gain access to comprehensive metro-related information such as nearby stations, routes, fares, line interchanges, train frequencies, and estimated travel times—all within the Mappls App.

The initiative aims to make travel information more open, accessible, and user-friendly through Mappls’ Traffic and Public Engagement Platform. In addition to metro navigation, the app will help users locate nearby government services, receive route suggestions with travel time estimates, and report real-time issues such as traffic congestion, accidents, parking difficulties, or waterlogging.

The collaboration underscores DMRC’s ongoing efforts to leverage technology for improving commuter experience and urban mobility in the National Capital Region.
