How it works

Tap. Read. Done.

Three short steps. No setup, no accounts.

  1. Tap your card

    Hold your NCMC card against the back of your phone.

  2. See your balance

    The app reads the card and shows the balance left.

  3. Check your rides

    Open any trip to see the stations, time and fare.

Your phone needs NFC. Most Android phones from the last few years have it.

FAQ

Questions from daily commuters

Short answers. No jargon.

Is it free?

Yes. The app and this website are free to use. There is no subscription and no charge for checking your balance.

Do I need to log in?

No. There is no login, sign-up, OTP or password. Open the app and tap your card.

Which cards work?

NCMC cards that your phone can read. That includes RuPay NCMC prepaid cards from banks and metro-issued NCMC cards. Card layouts can vary by issuer, so some details may look different.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The app reads your card on the phone and works without an internet connection. Your phone only needs NFC.

Is my data safe?

The app keeps your card details and ride history on your phone. There is no account or login, and the app does not upload your card number or trips. See the privacy policy for details.

Does it work in cities other than Chennai?

NCMC is made for travel across operators. The app recognises Chennai Metro, Namma Metro, Hyderabad Metro and MTC Chennai reader IDs. Coverage can vary by card and operator, and unknown taps are still shown.

Is this an official CMRL app?

No. NCMC Tracker is an independent app. It is not affiliated with CMRL, NPCI or any metro operator.

Which phones are supported?

An Android phone with NFC and Android 8.0 or newer. If your phone does not have NFC, it cannot read the card.
