President Murmu to launch pink mobility card for women, free cylinder scheme in Delhi

President Droupadi Murmu will launch the Delhi government’s ‘Pink National Common Mobility Card’ initiative on Monday, aimed at providing free bus travel to women in the national capital and enabling seamless access to multiple public transport systems through a single smart card.
According to a senior official, in addition to the pink card initiative, the President will also formally launch a scheme to provide two free LPG cylinders annually to all ration card–holding families in Delhi on the occasions of Holi and Diwali. The announcement will be made at the programme titled ‘Sashakt Nari, Samriddh Delhi’ at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium.
Explaining the pink card scheme, the official said, “Three types of mobility cards will be issued — pink for eligible women residents, blue for general commuters, and orange for monthly pass users. In the first phase, pink and blue cards will be rolled out, with the orange card to follow later.”
The officer further stated that at least 50 centres, including District Magistrate and Sub-Divisional Magistrate offices and selected DTC locations, will be set up for card issuance. 
“Minimal documentation will be required to ensure a simple and transparent process. Each pink card will be linked to the beneficiary’s mobile number and Aadhaar to verify age, gender, and Delhi residency,” he added. 
In a statement, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the pink card scheme would allow women residents of Delhi to travel free on Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses and use the card for paid travel on the metro, the Regional Rapid Transit System and other public transport services.
She added that the initiative is designed to make public transport more accessible and digital, while reducing daily travel costs for women and improving access to education, employment, and healthcare.
President Murmu will also launch the State government’s scheme to provide two free LPG cylinders annually on Monday. 
In her statement, the Chief Minister said the scheme will be extended through direct benefit transfer, with an amount equivalent to the prevailing price of one LPG cylinder credited to the family head’s Aadhaar-linked bank account.
The scheme is expected to cover approximately 1.55 million ration card–holding families.
