Meerut Metro

Under Construction Operator: National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) Length: 20 km Official site ↗

Meerut Metro is unusual: rather than a standalone system, it is a local metro service integrated into the Delhi–Meerut RRTS (Namo Bharat) corridor, built and operated by the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC). The same infrastructure that carries high-speed regional Namo Bharat trains between Delhi and Meerut also hosts local metro services within Meerut city.

The Meerut segment runs around 20 km with a mix of elevated and underground stations, several of which are shared with the RRTS while others are served only by local metro trains.

Why it matters

Meerut is the first Indian example of a single corridor carrying both regional high-speed and local metro services – a shared-infrastructure model that could reshape how India plans transit for satellite cities. If it works, it offers a template for delivering two tiers of service on one set of tracks, at a fraction of the cost of building them separately.
