As per a circular issued by the Finance Department, the Delhi Government has launched a special drive to facilitate the issuance of National Common Mobility Cards (NCMC) to its employees through camps being organised at 10 government office complexes across the Capital from June 18 to June 25.
The initiative, being implemented through the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), is aimed at making it easier for government employees to obtain the card, which has been linked to a higher transport incentive and is being promoted as part of efforts to encourage greater use of public transport.
The move comes amid a renewed push for sustainable mobility. Earlier this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to increasingly opt for public transport and adopt environmentally responsible commuting practices to help reduce fuel consumption, congestion and pollution.
What is the NCMC card?
The National Common Mobility Card is a contactless smart card designed to enable seamless travel across public transport systems. Delhi Government has been encouraging employees to adopt the card as part of its public transport policy and incentive framework.
To make the process easier, DTC will set up temporary enrollment and card distribution camps at major government office locations, allowing employees to complete the formalities at their workplace or a nearby government complex.
When and where are the camps being held?
The first phase of camps will be held on June 18 and 19 at Delhi Secretariat, Old Secretariat, Vikas Bhawan-II and Tis Hazari.
The second phase will take place on June 22 and 23 at ITO-Vikas Bhawan, UTCS and GTB Hospital Complex.
The final phase is scheduled for June 24 and 25 at RK Puram, MAMC Complex and the District Magistrate (West) office.
All camps will function from 10 am to 6 pm.
What documents should employees carry?
- Employees planning to obtain the card have been advised to bring:
- Aadhaar Card
- Active mobile number
- Employee ID card or employee code
- These documents will be required for verification and on-the-spot generation of the card.
- How will the camps function?
DTC has appointed depot managers and other officials as nodal officers for each location to oversee the process. The corporation has also directed officials to ensure adequate infrastructure, including seating arrangements, power supply, internet connectivity and technical support for uninterrupted card generation.
The Delhi Government has asked all departments, autonomous bodies, boards and corporations to widely publicise the camps and encourage employees to participate.
Why is the government conducting this drive?
The move is aimed at increasing the adoption of public transport among government employees while simplifying access to the National Common Mobility Card. By taking the enrollment process directly to government offices, authorities hope to maximise participation and make the transition to the NCMC system smoother.
With camps spread across key government hubs in Delhi, employees have multiple opportunities over the next week to obtain the card and avail themselves of the transport benefits linked to it.
