The DSGMC has already partnered with the Delhi Metro, one of the most popular modes of travel in the NCR, to explore the scope of reaching out to people of a select demographic set through mobile advertisement.

The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) will collaborate with the railways and metro in the National Capital Region (NCR), Mumbai and Jaipur to promote events planned by it to celebrate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak on November 12.

The committee has chosen Rajdhani trains between Delhi and Mumbai and Shatabdi trains between Delhi and Lucknow , Delhi and Amritsar, besides metro in Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur to explore the untapped potential of railways in transit advertising through pictures, printed material, electronic media, smart posters and holographic images on the internal panels of coaches.

A logo has been designed for the occasion, Sirsa said. Negotiations with authorities concerned are in the final stages and a deal is likely to be effected this month, he said.
