The Agra Metro is a rapid-transit project owned and operated by the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC). Phase 1 is planned as two corridors totalling about 30 km: the Yellow Line from Sikandra to Taj East Gate, and the Blue Line from Agra Cantt to Kalindi Vihar.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the priority Yellow Line stretch on 6 March 2024. That first public section links Taj East Gate with Mankameshwar and put Agra on India’s metro map. Remaining Yellow Line stations towards Sikandra, and the fully elevated Blue Line, continue as construction and trial-run work.
Agra Metro pages explain routes, stations, fares and passenger rules in plain language. Fares, train intervals and opening dates can change, so check the station display before you travel.
For visitors, the practical question is simple: which station is closest to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, a hotel on Fatehabad Road, or Agra Cantt railway station? For residents, the questions are jobs, last-mile parking, women’s safety, and whether a monthly smart card is cheaper than tokens. Those answers live in the pages below.
