Agra Metro
Agra Metro is an operational metro system in Agra, run by Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRCL). It covers 29.4 km across 14 stations, with fares from ₹10 to ₹60 and trains operating 06:00 to 22:00. Its route map, stations, fares and timings are below.
Agra Metro is the rapid transit system serving the city of the Taj Mahal, built and run by the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC). Its first priority section opened in 2024, and the network is designed with Agra’s millions of tourists in mind as much as its residents, connecting major heritage sites with the rest of the city.
The network
The system is planned as two corridors. The first links the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and other landmarks along a route that mixes elevated and underground sections, with the priority stretch already carrying passengers. The second corridor will cross the city on a different axis, giving Agra a connected network once complete.
Operator and what comes next
UPMRC, the agency behind the Lucknow and Kanpur systems, builds and runs Agra Metro. Current work extends the first corridor and advances the second. Station openings, tunnelling milestones and contract awards arrive as construction continues.
