CHENNAI: AGS Transact Technologies on Friday announced its plans to extend deployment of ‘Ongo Ride’, an instant National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) solution, across 41 Chennai Metro Stations.
Compliant with the RBI’s updated guidelines, Ongo Ride requires Zero-KYC, for making payments across NCMC enabled transit services.
Building on its initial success at 13 Chennai metro stations, Ongo Ride continues to resonate positively with commuters. Ongo’s industry-first instant NCMC issuance process allows commuters to purchase ready-to-use NCMC cards via unique card dispensers installed at Chennai metro stations.
This streamlined process encourages faster adoption of NCMCs across India. Ongo Ride will be available across all additional Chennai metro stations by the end of December 2024. Furthermore, the company aims to replicate this model across other metro railways in the country.
Commuters can purchase the instant NCMC cards for Rs 100 from these card dispensers in three easy steps: Select Card - Pay via UPI – Collect ready-to-use Ongo NCMC card.
Each card comes preloaded with a balance of Rs 50.
Commuters can top up their instant NCMC cards with a maximum fund limit of Rs 2,000 at ticket counters across all Chennai metro stations. Also, commuters have the option to upgrade their cards by completing full KYC, enabling them to enjoy all NCMC benefits.
