This step has been taken with the aim of making things easier for the passengers and UPI is such a tool that common people are also using fiercely.

The facility to scan this QR code has been given at all ticket vending machines in Delhi Metro stations. Earlier, tickets or smart cards could be recharged only through cash, debit or credit cards, but now through UPI all these works will be done easily and quickly.
