Meerut Metro Network Expansion & Master Plan

Meerut Metro operates from Meerut South to Modipuram over a 23 km corridor. The network has 13 stations in total, including the at-grade Modipuram Depot Station; 12 stations serve regular passenger operations. The Metro shares the Delhi–Ghaziabad–Meerut Namo Bharat infrastructure. Proposed Phase 2 is planned at around 15 km with 13 stations from Shradhapuri Phase II to Jagrati Vihar Extension. Phase 3 is a proposed around 9 km corridor from CCS University to Begumpul via Ganga Nagar with 6 stations.

Phase 1: Meerut South to Modipuram (Operational)

Meerut Metro operates from Meerut South to Modipuram over a 23 km corridor. The network has 13 stations in total, including the at-grade Modipuram Depot Station; 12 stations serve regular passenger operations. The corridor provides local urban transit across the north-south axis of Meerut city, cutting intra-city travel times between Meerut South and Modipuram to under 30 minutes.

Phase 2: Shradhapuri Phase II to Jagrati Vihar Extension (Proposed / Planned)

Proposed Phase 2 is planned at around 15 km with 13 stations from Shradhapuri Phase II to Jagrati Vihar Extension as an east-west transit corridor connecting western suburbs to eastern commercial growth zones. Labelled as Proposed/Planned.

Phase 3: CCS University to Begumpul via Ganga Nagar (Proposed / Planned)

Phase 3 is a proposed around 9 km corridor from CCS University to Begumpul via Ganga Nagar with 6 stations, designed as an academic feeder corridor integrating major universities and residential sectors with the central transit terminal. Labelled as Proposed/Planned.

Interstate Bus Terminals (ISBT / UPSRTC)

Direct pedestrian integration from Bhainsali Metro Station to the major Bhainsali UPSRTC Bus Stand and regional roadways hubs.

Expressways & National Highways

Strategic connectivity with Delhi–Meerut Expressway (NE-3), NH-334 (Delhi–Dehradun Highway), Meerut Ring Road, and the Ganga Expressway originating at Bijoli.

Strategic Impact

Why Meerut Metro Matters

First Shared-Corridor Transit Innovation

By running local urban metro trainsets and regional rapid transit trains on the same track and signaling infrastructure, Meerut Metro eliminates duplicate construction costs, saving substantial public capital while maximizing asset utilization.

Decarbonization & Traffic Decongestion

Relieves severe traffic bottlenecks on NH-334, Delhi Road, Roorkee Road, and the densely built Old Meerut commercial core, shifting thousands of daily commuters to 100% electric, zero-emission mass transit.

Fastest Urban Metro System

Meerut Metro is India's fastest urban metro system, with a design speed of 135 km/h and maximum operational speed of 120 km/h.
