Delhi Metro ‘Underwear’ Vending Machines Go Viral as DMRC Confirms Essentials Rollout

The agency says the units are part of a months-old effort to make basic items available to passengers.

Overview

  • An Instagram video from Rohini East shows three glass-front vending machines stocked with packaged undergarments instead of snacks.
  • Shared by the handle Billu Baddie, the clip has drawn roughly 800,000 views and a wave of reactions ranging from jokes to praise.
  • A DMRC official told PTI that machines across several stations dispense both food and non-food items, including undergarments, cosmetics and drinking water.
  • Commenters called the setup useful for emergencies, especially for women, and suggested adding sanitary products, tissues, sewing kits and other small essentials.
  • Earlier coverage noted the video’s details were unverified, but the DMRC statement situates it within a broader commuter-convenience program.
