The on-demand delivery platform announced the rollout of the Blinkit Bharat Yatra NCMC Card, making public transport payments faster and queue-free.
The national common mobility card (NCMC) is powered by RuPay and issued in partnership with Pine Labs. Priced at just Rs 50, the card is being delivered through Blinkit in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahmedabad. With this launch, commuters no longer need separate metro or bus cards for different cities, marking a major step in simplifying public transport access via the Blinkit Bharat Yatra NCMC Card.
