OTP Digital Lockers Expand Access At Delhi Railway Stations
Some Delhi railway stations now offer lockers for storing luggage.
The lockers are meant for people who have long waits, want to visit the city, or are carrying heavy bags.
Passengers use their mobile number and a one-time password, called an OTP, to open a locker.
They choose the locker size and how long they want to use it.
They can pay with digital services such as Google Pay, PhonePe, or Paytm.
The lockers are currently working at New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin.
Lockers at Delhi Junction and Anand Vihar Terminal are expected to work shortly.
To collect a bag, passengers verify another OTP and select the “Release” option.
Northern Railway’s Delhi Division has introduced OTP-based digital luggage lockers across four major Delhi stations.
The facility is currently operational at New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin, while Delhi Junction and Anand Vihar Terminal are expected to become functional shortly.
Passengers enter a mobile number, verify an OTP, choose a locker size and duration, and pay digitally before storing luggage.
To retrieve belongings, passengers re-enter the registered number, complete OTP verification, select “Release,” and collect their luggage.
Charges shown by Northern Railway are Rs 60 for six hours, Rs 130 for 12 hours, and Rs 160 for 24 hours.
