Datamatics Global Services has announced the successful rollout of Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) and mobile ticketing systems for Mumbai Metro Line 2B and Line 9. The implementation marks a significant technological advancement in Mumbai's metro infrastructure, designed to enhance passenger convenience and operational efficiency. Phase 1 of both metro lines was inaugurated on April 8, 2026, by Honorable Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri. Devendra Fadnavis, and Honorable Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri. Eknath Shinde.

System Implementation Details

The deployed AFC system focuses on streamlining passenger movement through metro stations by enabling faster entry and exit processes. The technology integration includes mobile ticketing capabilities that allow commuters to use digital payment methods for seamless travel. The system is designed to support both QR coded tickets and common mobility cards.

Leadership Statement

Commenting on the development, Rahul Kanodia, Vice Chairman and CEO, Datamatics, said, "We take immense pride in our continued association with Mumbai Metro Lines 2A and 7, and now with Lines 2B and 9. Through our advanced AFC and mobile ticketing systems, we are happy to enable faster, smarter, and more seamless mobility for the city. Being headquartered in Mumbai makes this association particularly special for us as these projects are positively impacting millions of Mumbaikars."

Global Track Record

Datamatics has successfully executed over 30 AFC projects globally, including implementations in high-traffic cities such as London, New York, Melbourne, Hong Kong, and Dubai. The company also implemented its AFC solution for the Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) in Memphis, USA. In India, Datamatics has successfully executed AFC solutions on a turnkey basis for multiple metro systems including Mumbai Metro Lines 2A and 7, Delhi-Meerut RRTS, Kolkata Metro, Pune Metro, Lucknow Metro, and Shri Mata Vaishnav Devi shrine cable car in Jammu.

Infrastructure Enhancement

This technological deployment represents part of Mumbai Metro's broader digitization initiative. The AFC and mobile ticketing systems are expected to support increased passenger volumes while maintaining efficient service delivery across the designated metro lines. The automatic fare deduction feature eliminates the need for physical ticket handling, potentially reducing queuing times and improving passenger flow management.
