Meerut Metro inauguration: The much-anticipated Meerut Metro has opened today. With a design speed of 135 kmph and a maximum operational speed of 120 kmph, it has the fastest metro system in the country.

“Meerut Metro services will be provided on the same tracks and infrastructure as the semi-high-speed Namo Bharat trains. This will provide the commuter swift change from one train to the other without causing any discomfort and make the travel experience comfortable,” the NCRTC said.

The 23-km-long Meerut Metro will have 13 stations and run on the Namo Bharat network in Meerut. Of these, 4 stations, namely Meerut South, Shatabdi Nagar, Begumpul and Modipuram will provide both, Namo Bharat and Meerut Metro services.

The design of Meerut Metro train embodies a modern aesthetic, prioritizing passenger comfort, safety and security. Check here features of Meerut Metro trains:
