Delhi Transport Stack Open Innovation

About Delhi Transport Stack

The Transport Department of the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) has introduced Transport Stack, a Digital Public Infrastructure. It is designed to enable next-generation citizen mobility, seamlessly integrate services, and facilitate the evolution of future mobility solutions. Acting as a unifying force, Transport Stack establishes an efficient, streamlined system across the entire transport network.

Startups, academia, and researchers are invited to participate for addressing key mobility challenges, by proposing innovative solutions, turning them into functional prototype, and test the value proposition with a proof-of-concept implementation in Delhi Transport Ecosystem.

It is orchestrated by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in collaboration with Transport Department (GNCTD) and Public Transport authorities in Delhi. Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) - IIT Delhi is the organizing and incubation partner, with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) as the knowledge partner, bringing deep industry insights and expertise to the challenge.
