As per the MoU signed on October 31, DMRC’s metro data will be integrated with the Mappls platform to enhance commuter convenience across Delhi-NCR.

Dr. Vikas Kumar, Managing Director, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), said: “Delhi Metro is committed to enhancing commuter convenience through innovation and technology. The integration of DMRC’s metro data with the Mappls app will make travel across NCR smarter and seamless — enabling commuters to plan better, navigate easily, and save time. This collaboration marks another step toward building a smarter, safer, and more connected public transport ecosystem.”

The signing of the MoU with DMRC follows the announcement by Union Minister for Railways, Electronics & IT Ashwini Vaishnaw regarding an MoU between Indian Railways and Mappls MapmyIndia.

We promise to deliver more of Swadeshi tech that is world class and work towards the realization of an Aatmanirbhar Viksit Bharat.“
The initiative promotes transparency, accessibility, and citizen participation through Mappls app’s advanced Traffic and Public Engagement Platform. With this integration, the Mappls app will not only guide metro commuters but also help citizens locate nearby government services, receive optimized routes with estimated travel times, and report real-time civic and traffic issues such as congestion, accidents, parking challenges, or water-logging, all directly from their smartphones.
These citizen-driven inputs will be shared instantly with relevant authorities, ensuring faster responses, proactive traffic management, and improved urban mobility across the region. The Mappls platform will further enhance public safety by providing real-time alerts on road incidents, accidents, or breakdowns, while helping emergency services respond faster and keeping Delhi-NCR’s roads safer and more efficient for everyone.
