The Meerut Metro Project was under consideration since 2016, when Rail India Technical and Economic Services (RITES) prepared a detailed project report and submitted it to the state government. PM Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the Meerut Metro Project on 8 March 2019, along with the RRTS.
Construction of the project began in June 2019 and was initially scheduled for completion by June 2025. However, due to pending work at a few locations, the project could not be completed on time. Subsequently, on 22 February 2026, Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Meerut Metro from Shatabdi Nagar Namo Bharat Station. The stretch from Meerut South Namo Bharat Station to Modipuram Namo Bharat Station is now open to the general public, while construction work at Modipuram Depot is still underway. Following the merger of Meerut Metro with RRTS, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) now owns the metro and its trains.

History of Meerut Metro Project
Proposal and its submission (2010-2016)- In early 2010, the metro train project of Meerut and RRTS was proposed by the government of India and the Uttar Pradesh State Government. The metro train is needed in Meerut due to the rising population, traffic, and demand in the City. It was also in demand due to its location near NCR. Therefore, the preliminary assessment of the metro project was done by RITES in June 2015, and the same was submitted to the Indian Government in June 2016.
Connectivity of Metro (2017)- In 2017, the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) started the project. The metro line was initially planned to have 11 stations from Partapur to Modipuram, but to connect the boundary area of Meerut, it was extended to 13 stations from Meerut South to Modipuram Depot.
Foundation Stone and Starting of Construction (2019)- On 8th March 2019, PM Narendra Modi marked the initiation of the project with the foundation stone, along with the Delhi-Meerut RRTS project. Construction of both projects began in June of the same year. Now, both these projects are scheduled to be completed and started by or before October 2025.
Re-bidding due to clash in Galwan Valley (2020)- In 2020, a clash occurred in Galwan Valley between the Indian and Chinese armies, so the Indian government withdrew the bid with the Chinese company associated with manufacturing the trains of the metro. Because of this, a ri-bidding was done by the NCRTC and Bombardier Transportation. On 7th May 2024, the ri-bidding process was won and acquired by Alstom.
Manufacturing of Metro- Currently, the trains are manufactured at Alstom’s plant in Savil, Gujarat. The company will supply 210 coaches for 30 trains, each with 3 coaches.
1st train set (2024)- The first train set of the metro was delivered by Alstom to the NCRTC on 16th Feb 2024.
1st Trail Run in Meerut (2025)- On 12 January 2025, the first trial run of Meerut Metro was conducted in Meerut from Meerut South Station to Meerut Central Station. As of today, the project are on the right track to be completed by October 2025.
Operations of Meerut Metro (2026)- On 22 February 2026, Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 5 km section between New Ashok Nagar Namo Bharat Station and Sarai Kale Khan Namo Bharat Station, along with the 21 km section between Meerut South Namo Bharat Station and Modipuram Namo Bharat Station, marking the completion of the entire Namo Bharat corridor. The Meerut Metro services on the same route from Meerut South to Modipuram were also inaugurated simultaneously.
Meerut Metro Station Name
The Meerut Metro project, developed along the Delhi–Meerut RRTS corridor, has now been completed and has become operational across the full corridor on 22 February 2025. This marks India’s first implementation where a Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) and a local metro operate on a shared infrastructure. Services are currently running end-to-end; however, Jangpura Namo Bharat Station on the RRTS section and Modipuram Depot for the Meerut Metro remain under construction and are expected to be completed shortly. The corridor has a total of 13 stations, with 4 of them serving as interchange points between the Delhi–Meerut RRTS and the Meerut Metro. The Meerut Metro Station Names are as follows:–
The Meerut Metro corridor features a total of 13 stations, comprising different structural designs. Elevated stations include Meerut South, Partapur, Rithani, Shatabdi Nagar, Brahmapuri, MES Colony, Daurli, Meerut North, and Modipuram. The three underground stations are Meerut Central, Bhaisali, and Begumpul. Additionally, the Modipuram Depot station is being constructed at grade level.
Meerut Metro Station List Meerut South to Modipuram
The Meerut Metro spans a total length of 23.60 km (14.70 mi), with 14.80 km elevated and 8.80 km underground. The project is being developed by the National Capital Regional Transport Corporation (NCRTC) and is currently under construction. The corridor will include 13 stations in total, starting from Meerut South as the first station and ending at Modipuram Depot as the last station. The Modipuram Depot will not only serve as the operational hub for the metro system but will also play a vital role in supporting the Delhi–Meerut RRTS corridor.
