Delhi Metro: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has expanded the use of its WhatsApp-based ticketing system. Initially launched on the Airport Express Line in June, the system’s remarkable performance has prompted the DMRC to extend its availability to nearly all Delhi-NCR lines, including the Gurugram Rapid Metro. This service expansion is the result of a collaboration between Meta and its authorized partner, Pelocal Fintech Pvt. Ltd.
