Kanpur Metro
The Kanpur Metro is a mass rapid transit (MRT) system in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. The metro is owned and operated by the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) and it partially opened within two years of construction making it the fastest constructed mass rapid transit system in the world. The cost of construction is estimated at ₹11,076.48 crores for two lines in Phase I. Kanpur Metro will be expanded farther to Kanpur Airport and other important areas of Kanpur in the future.
The feasibility study for the project was done by RITES in June 2015. The government approved two corridors as per the Detailed Project Report (DPR). The tenders were floated for the priority section of corridor-1 between IIT Kanpur to Motijheel. The company Afcons Infrastructure was awarded the tender.
On 28 February 2019, the Central Government approved the metro project for Kanpur at an estimated cost of ₹ 11,076.48 crores and a five-year time limit. Construction work began on 15 November 2019, with the first section opening in December 2021 from IIT Kanpur to Motijheel which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 28 December 2021.
5 more underground stations from Chunniganj to Kanpur Central were inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 30th May 2025.
In Phase 1, 21 metro stations will be built on Orange Line from IIT Kanpur to Naubasta and 8 metro stations will be built on Blue Line from the Agriculture University to Barra-8.
The trains operate at a frequency of five minutes between 6 am and 10:30 pm. The trains operate with ATO over CBTC, with a design speed of 90 km/h and an operational speed of 80 km/h. Automated station announcements are recorded in Hindi and English. Many stations have services such as ATMs, food outlets, cafés, convenience stores and mobile recharge. Eating, drinking, smoking and chewing gum are prohibited in the entire system.
State Bank of India and Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) has introduced Kanpur Metro GoSmart Card to metro passengers. This card is available in all metro stations.
