The QR code-based tickets for the Delhi metro can be booked from the IRCTC website up to 120 days in advance.

Indian Railways, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and the Centre For Railway Information System (CRIS) have joined hands to promote the One India-One Ticket initiative for the ease of travellers. It will help the passengers of the main railway line and commuters of the Delhi/NCR area. Under this, the travellers of the metro can now book metro tickets from the IRCTC website or app. The token with the Delhi Metro QR code will be visible on the passenger’s online train ticket as soon as it is booked. Now, passengers can book a metro ticket while travelling by train. They don’t have to stand in a separate line to get a ticket in the metro. Rather, the journey will be easy with the same booked ticket.

According to the statement issued by DMRC, the QR code-based tickets for the Delhi metro can be booked from the IRCTC website up to 120 days in advance and will remain valid for the next four days. It will come in handy if your train is getting delayed.

“The metro tickets will be valid for a single journey for four days starting from the day before the DMRC journey date, the travel date itself, and two days after the journey date,” read the statement issued by DMRC.

The token with Delhi Metro’s QR code will be printed on the electronic slip. It will also be printed on the electronic reservation slip of IRCTC for the passenger. This will be based on one QR code for one passenger. This initiative has been adopted for the first time by the Center for Railway Information System, IRCTC and DMRC.

The beta version of the application has been launched. During this, IRCTC CMD Sanjay Kumar Jain, and DMRC MD Vikas Kumar said that after the success of the beta version, its regular version is anticipated to launch soon. The beta version of the DMRC QR code-based ticket was launched on Wednesday, July 10. It will enable mainline railway passengers to book DMRC QR code tickets on the IRCTC website and Android version of the mobile application, the statement said.

Till now single journey ticket on Delhi Metro can be booked only on the day of travel and it is valid for that day only.
