Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the interoperable NCMC last year under the name One Nation One Card. By the end of the year, these two facilities could be added to the Airport Express Line.

Know all about the One Nation One Card:

Through the locally-developed NCMC, people can pay for multiple kinds of transportation across the country, including metro and bus services.
Additionally, cardholders will be able to pay their toll taxes, parking charges, retail shopping, and even withdraw money.
Singh told news agency PTI that the AFC system will fully accept national common mobility cards in Phase 4 of the Delhi Metro.
In Phase 4 metro lines, riders will be able to enter and exit the AFC gates using a mobile phone, which will act as a smartcard.
There has been clarification from DMRC that old smart cards can be used on the new lines as well.

Three out of the six corridors of Delhi Metro's proposed Phase 4 were approved by the Union Cabinet in March last year, in a meeting chaired by PM Modi. Within the approved segment, new metro lines covering 61.679 kilometers and 45 stations are proposed for construction. Metro Delhi's already operational lines will be interconnected through these new sections.

Mukundpur-Maujpur, R K Ashram-Janakpuri West, and Aerocity-Tughlakabad are among the corridors approved by the Union cabinet. Phase 4 also includes Rithala-Bawana-Narela, Inderlok-Indraprastha, and Lajpat Nagar-Saket G Block, which are not yet approved. A groundbreaking ceremony was held for Delhi Metro's Phase 4 project at Haider Badli Mor on December 30 last year. Work has begun on the construction of 10 stations along a 28.92-km corridor connecting Janakpuri West and R K Ashram Marg, which is an extension of the Magenta Line.

The Phase 4 project will include many highs and several DMRC firsts. The first metro bridge over the Yamuna to be constructed using the cantilever-construction method, as well as the highest point in the DMRC system, will both be constructed as part of this project.
