Some of the old ticket vending machines (TVMs) at metro stations are still not "recognising" new currencies and DMRC is taking up the issue with the vendor, its Managing Director Mangu Singh said here today.

He said this reporters after the launch of an updated version of existing 'Delhi Metro Rail' App through which passengers can get information regarding metro routes, tourist spots and also complain directly to the higher authorities.

"We are facing some problems in the sense that old machines are not recognising new currencies and we are taking it up with the vendor," he said.

New currencies were issued in the country after demonetisation announced by the central government in November 2016.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) managing director said that ticket vending machines are also not recognising damaged notes and "we are trying to resolve this."
