Starting today, Uber users in Delhi can now plan their metro rides by purchasing their QR-based tickets from the Uber app. This also gives travellers access to real-time transit information of their commute, according to the agency report.

Uber also said that there will be three other cities across India to have the same service like in Delhi in the year 2025, as per the report.

This comes after Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's visit to India in 2024, where he signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate with ONDC to advance the reach and impact of India's digital public goods.

“India has taken an impressive leap in building population scale technology through its Digital Public Infrastructure like ONDC and we are thrilled to integrate with them to bring metro ticketing to the Uber app, bringing us one step closer to our vision of being a one-stop shop for mobility needs,” said Praveen Neppalli Naga, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Uber.

Vibhor Jain, Acting CEO and COO at ONDC, told the news agency,“Uber's joining of the ONDC Network marks a significant step in expanding access to trusted, interoperable digital infrastructure in India. As a global platform, Uber's initial enablement of metro ticketing and logistics unlocks new possibilities - from seamless multimodal journeys to unifying a fragmented logistics ecosystem.”

Uber said it will soon launch B2B Logistics via the ONDC network, a solution that will allow businesses to request on-demand logistics from Uber's delivery network, without needing their own fleet.

Uber said the service will initially facilitate food deliveries, with its underlying technology designed to scale to sectors such as e-commerce, grocery, pharmacy, and healthcare logistics.

“By integrating with ONDC, Uber will be accessible to a wide ecosystem of sellers and platforms, empowering businesses of all sizes to reach more customers efficiently through a plug-and-play logistics layer,” said Uber, according to the news agency's report.
