Delhi Metro ticketing goes live on Uber app; more cities, B2B logistics up next
'Uber today announced the rollout of metro ticketing on the Uber app, powered by the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), with Delhi Metro going live as the first launch city. This marks Uber's first integration with India's pioneering digital public infrastructure and a major step forward in making public transport more connected,' the company said in a release.
Three more cities across India are slated to go live in 2025, Uber said, adding it will soon launch B2B Logistics via the ONDC network, a solution that will allow businesses to request on-demand logistics from Uber's delivery network, without needing their own fleet.
New Delhi, May 19 (PTI) Ride-hailing platform Uber on Monday announced the rollout of metro ticketing on the Uber app, powered by the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), starting with Delhi Metro.
This move follows an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in 2024 during Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's visit to India, where Uber committed to collaborating with ONDC to advance the reach and impact of India's digital public goods.
'Today's launch is a tangible realisation of that commitment, reinforcing Uber's mission to make urban mobility more inclusive, sustainable, and seamlessly connected,' it said.
Praveen Neppalli Naga, Chief Technology Officer, Uber, said 'India has taken an impressive leap in building population scale technology through its Digital Public Infrastructure like ONDC and we are thrilled to integrate with them to bring metro ticketing to the Uber app, bringing us one step closer to our vision of being a one-stop shop for mobility needs.' Vibhor Jain, Acting CEO and COO at ONDC termed Uber joining the ONDC Network as a significant step in expanding access to trusted, interoperable digital infrastructure in India.
'As a global platform, Uber's initial enablement of metro ticketing and logistics unlocks new possibilities – from seamless multimodal journeys to unifying a fragmented logistics ecosystem. This collaboration lays the foundation for future innovations from Uber on the Network, enhancing value for users, partners, and the broader mobility and services landscape,' Jain said.
Beginning today, Uber users in the national capital will be able to plan their metro journeys, purchase QR-based tickets, and access real-time transit information, within the Uber app. PTI MBI DRR

KNRC Contract firm blames slushy soil for NH collapse
KOCHI: KNR Constructions (KNRC) said the company has made no 'mistake' in the construction of NH 66 and attributed the collapse of the highway stretch at Kooriyad in Malappuram to unexpected subsoil conditions. According to KNRC, the company responsible for the Ramanattukara-Valanchery section of NH 66, the approach ramp with a reinforced earth (RE) wall yielded due to 'pockets of soft or slushy soil between the earth's layers' beneath the foundation. The Hyderabad-based listed company, in its latest earnings call, stated that the construction process followed proper protocols. 'We are very confident that we have not done any mistake... It's a completely waterlogged area... Proper approvals were taken, and thorough examination of the foundations were done during earthing, along with subsoil investigations,' K Jalandhar Reddy, promoter and executive director of KNRC, said in the call. Responding to analysts' questions, Reddy explained that the designs were made accordingly, and Strata Geosystems, a renowned RE Walls agency, had done the work. 'The design was verified and approved by the authorities concerned before execution. So, as such, we didn't see anything that would have indicated this issue. We treat this as an accident only,' he said. He said the company has put forth a proposal to NHAI to construct a viaduct in the damaged area —estimated to cost Rs 25-Rs 30 crore — to permanently resolve the issue. Reddy said this solution would prevent similar problems in the future given the road's 15-year maintenance requirement.
