Ahmedabad Metro

Operational Operator: Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) Length: 68.5 km Since: 06/03/2019 Updated: Official site ↗

As of 17 Oct 2026, Ahmedabad Metro is operational (since 6 Mar 2019). Latest news: 2 Nov 2026.

Ahmedabad Metro is an operational metro system in Ahmedabad, run by Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC). It covers 68.5 km across 53 stations, with fares from ₹5 to ₹25 and trains operating 06:20 to 22:05 roughly every 8 to 12 minutes. Its route map, stations, fares and timings are below.

Ahmedabad Metro, run by Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC), is a rapid transit system serving Ahmedabad and the neighbouring state capital of Gandhinagar. Phase 1 opened in 2019, and with the Phase 2 extensions the network now runs across four lines covering about 68.5 km and 53 stations, carrying roughly 1.53 lakh passengers a day.

The network

Phase 1 formed an operational cross through the city with the Blue Line (Vastral Gam to Thaltej Gam) and the Red Line (APMC to Motera). Phase 2 extended the system north into Gandhinagar, reaching the GIFT City financial district, Gujarat National Law University and Mahatma Mandir. The corridors are largely elevated, with an underground stretch through the central city.

Why it matters

The GIFT City link ties the metro directly to India’s flagship international financial-services hub, giving the twin-city network an unusually broad catchment and a role in the region’s economic planning, not just its daily commute.

Operator and what comes next

GMRC builds and runs the metro. Near-term work covers further Phase 2 connectivity and feeder links, with station openings, ridership milestones and contract awards arriving as the network matures.
