The wait for the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC), which will enable commuters to use a single card for all public transport options, shopping, online purchases, and other bookings, will get longer for Delhi residents, as the tenders for the same will have to be floated for a second time, according to officials aware of the matter.
The Delhi transport department had floated tenders for the NCMC in January inviting a concessionaire to set up, launch and operate the system in Delhi. However, it had a single bidder, because of which the process had to be cancelled.
“The first tender relied a lot on the same document prepared for Mumbai NCMC by Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) which launched it there.
