The Meerut Metro is an under-construction rapid transit system, which will serve the city of Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is being built in two phases, of which the first phase with the first line will cover 23.6 km (14.7 mi) with 13 stations, from Modipuram to Meerut South. It will have nine elevated, three underground stations, one at-grade station as the depot station at Modipuram, and four stations integrated with the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System on a single corridor, making the metro the first such rapid transit system in India to be merged directly with a regional transit system.^[3] The second phase will include a second line covering 15 km (9.3 mi) from Shradhapuri Phase-II to Jagrati Vihar, with 12 stations, out of which seven will be elevated and five will be underground, thereby taking the overall length to 38.6 km (24.0 mi). The metro will also be the fastest metro of India, at an operational speed of 120 km/h (75 mph).^[4][5]

The foundation stone for the project was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 8 March 2019, along with the RRTS, and construction began on both the RRTS and the metro projects in June 2019. It is expected to be completed before the deadline of June 2025, the time also slated for the opening of the entire route of the RRTS. It is being built at an estimated cost of ₹11,540 crore (US$1.4 billion), and due to its merger with the RRTS, the metro and its trains will be owned and operated by National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC).^[6][7]

History

Due to rising population, traffic, congestion and demand in Meerut, and also because of its location in the National Capital Region (NCR), the plan for developing a metro for the city and integrating it with the transport systems of NCR was proposed by the Governments of India and Uttar Pradesh in the early 2010s. Therefore, the feasibility study of the metro project was completed by Rail India Technical and Economic Services (RITES) in June 2015 and submitted to the Government of Uttar Pradesh the next year, in June 2016. In 2017, the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) was assigned to bring all stakeholders together and get the project started, then operate the metro after completion. The line was initially planned to have eleven stations, from Modipuram to Partapur, but was later extended to Meerut South to provide connectivity to the city's outskirts, thereby increasing the number of stations to 13 and the length to 23.6 km (14.7 mi). The initiation of the project was marked after the foundation stone was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 8 March 2019, along with the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), and construction of both the projects commenced in June of the same year. Both the projects, including the Meerut section of the RRTS, are scheduled to be completed and opened by or before the deadline of June 2025. The metro will be the first rapid transit system in India to be directly integrated and merged with a regional transit system on one single corridor, and also the fastest in India, with an operational speed of 120 km/h (75 mph).^[5][6][8][7]

During the clash in the Galwan Valley in 2020, the Swadeshi Jagran Manch urged the Government of India to withdraw the bid from a Chinese company associated with manufacturing the trains of the metro. In view of this, a re-bidding for making the trains was conducted by the owner of the metro and the RRTS projects, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), and Bombardier Transportation, now acquired by Alstom, won the bid on 7 May 2020. The trains are currently being manufactured at Alstom's plant in Savli, Gujarat. It will supply 210 coaches for 30 trains, each consisting of 3 coaches.^[9][10] The first train of the metro was delivered by Alstom to the NCRTC on 16 February 2024. As of February 2024, both the projects are on track to be completed by June 2025.^[11]

Construction

The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has divided the civil construction work of the first phase of the metro project into 13 stations and one depot at Modipuram, which will be for both the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) and the metro trains, and four packages, which are part of the packages of the RRTS as well. The list of the packages, contractors and their statuses is as follows:^[5]

Packages	Description	Phase	Contractors	Status	Ref
Part of Package-3	Partapur – Shatabdi Nagar (elevated viaduct and 3 stations at Partapur, Rithani and Shatabdi Nagar)	1	Larsen & Toubro (L&T)	Under construction	[12]
Package-5B	Modipuram Depot and Workshop	1	KSM Bashir Mohammad & Sons	Under construction	[13]
Package-7	Shatabdi Nagar – Brahampuri Down Ramp and Begumpul Up Ramp – Modipuram (elevated viaduct and 5 stations at Brahmapuri, MES Colony, Daurli, Meerut North and Modipuram)	1	Larsen & Toubro (L&T)	Under construction	[14]
Package-8	Brahampuri Down Ramp to Begumpul Up Ramp (underground twin tunnels and 3 stations at Meerut Central, Bhaisali and Begumpul)	1	Afcons Infrastructure	Under construction	[15]

Corridors

The metro is being developed in two phases, which will together cover a distance of 38.6 km (24.0 mi), currently of which the first phase consisting of the first line to run along the RRTS is under construction. The details of the lines are as follows:^[5]

Phase I

• Line 1: Meerut South to Modipuram, 23.6 km (14.7 mi)–elevated 14.8 km (9.2 mi), underground 8.8 km (5.5 mi) and one at-grade station as the depot station at Modipuram. The line will have 13 stations, of which nine will be elevated, three underground and one at-grade station at Modipuram depot. It will run parallely along the RRTS on a single corridor.

Phase II

• Line 2: Shradhapuri Phase II to Jagrati Vihar, 15 km (9.3 mi)–elevated 10.7 km (6.6 mi) and underground 4.3 km (2.7 mi). The line will have 12 stations, of which seven will be elevated and five underground. It is currently waiting for approval for a new Detailed Project Report (DPR) tender to be floated.

Facilities

All stations of the metro will have similar facilities like the stations of the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS). They will have several facilities to fulfill the requirements of passengers and on-board commuters to ensure hassle-free experience, like booking counters, ticket and food vending machines, on-board catering, check-in kiosks, baggage checking counters, CCTVs, platform screen doors (PSDs), washrooms, restaurants, retail stores, free WiFi, child care facilities, emergency and medical facilities, facilities for physically challenged passengers like wheelchairs, escalators, elevators and connecting facilities to RRTS stations and other transport modes like bus stations, railway stations, cabs, parking spaces, etc.^[16]

Features

All stations of the metro will have similar features like the stations of the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS). They will have several features to enhance passenger experience, as follows:

• Multi-Modal Transport Integration: All stations will be integrated with various modes of transport like railway stations, inter-state bus terminals, cabs and parking spaces to seamlessly facilitate the movement of commuters between the modes through skywalks, elevated walkways and entry/exit points. The metro will be the first metro system in India to merge and operate parallely along a regional transit system.^[17]

• Safety: All stations will be fully surveillanced with CCTVs and security staff. They will also have platform screen doors (PSDs) on platforms for enhanced commuter safety.^[18]

• Sustainability: All stations will use eco-friendly measures to generate electricity, dispose of waste, and conserve water without affecting the environment, like solar panels on the roofs, dustbins, water and sewage treatment systems, green spaces in the stations' premises and proper cleanliness in the entire premises, similar to the RRTS stations. The implementation of the metro will shift the modal share in favour of public transport higher in the region, which will then result in drastic reductions in traffic on roads, thereby ensuring sustainability.^[19]

Stations

The metro, together with two lines, will consist of 25 stations, of which the first line will have 13, and the second line will have 12 stations. Additionally, there will be interchange points with the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) at Meerut South, Shatabdi Nagar, Begumpul, and Modipuram stations. The stations being built on the metro in its first phase are:^[20]
