'Momentum 2.0' was formally launched at the Shivaji Stadium metro station by DMRC's [Managing Director](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/38621/name-the-current-managing-director-of-international-monetary-fund-imf-who-was-been-re-elected-for-a-second-five-year-term), Vikas Kumar.

These stations include Rajiv Chowk, Millennium City Centre Gurugram, Dwarka Sector 10, [Supreme Court](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81335/reservation-is-not-a-fundamental-right-supreme-court), and more.

The 'smart boxes' are part of a grid format, and each station has sets of 83-90 digital lockers with a central console.
