About Agra Metro
The city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh is currently undergoing the construction of the Agra Metro, an urban Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) spanning a distance of 29.65 km (Phase-1). This ambitious project consists of two lines and will encompass a total of 27 stations. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for Phase 1 of the Agra Metro was meticulously prepared by RITES and was officially submitted to the Uttar Pradesh state government for approval on June 30, 2016. In an effort to facilitate the project's commencement, the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRCL) was appointed as the coordinating body in 2017, tasked with bringing together all relevant stakeholders involved in the endeavor.
Agra Metro Construction work:In February 2019, the project obtained approval from the Cabinet of the Central Government. Subsequently, in July 2020, the Supreme Court granted permission for its construction, with the condition that the UPMRCL (Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited) strictly adhere to 11 specified conditions. On December 7, 2020, construction commenced on the initial 4 km section of Phase 1, specifically the Taj East Gate to Taj Mahal Ramp, which was inaugurated by the Prime Minister through remote means. The Priority Corridor of the project spans 7 km and encompasses six stations (three underground and three elevated), connecting Jama Masjid and Taj East Gate.
The Priority Corridor of Agra Metro is anticipated to be finished and inaugurated in June 2024, slightly delayed from its original deadline of March 2024. The completion of Phase 1 is projected to occur in 2026. The project will be funded through a combination of contributions from the Government of India and the Government of Uttar Pradesh, with both parties sharing equal equity. Additionally, a loan of approximately 450 million Euros (equivalent to around Rs. 4860 crore) from the European Investment Bank (EIB), which was approved in December 2021, will also contribute to the financing of the project.
Agra Metro Fares (Ticket Prices)The fare structure, prices, and regulations for Agra Metro have not yet been disclosed.
