Lakhs of Agra residents, domestic and foreign tourists will be able to use the city's new metro rail service from 2024.
The Agra Metro rail project is in full flow. The metro trains in the popular UP tourist destination will be distinctly yellow coloured. The first of the trains arrived at the Metro depot on Monday. Built by the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC), the Agra Metro will have a six-km priority corridor. This will run from Taj East Gate to Jama Masjid.
This corridor will link Agra’s world-famous tourist hotspots Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Jama Masjid. This corridor will have six trains while the entire network will eventually have 28 trains. The priority corridor will have three underground stations at the Taj Mahal, the Agra Fort and the Jama Masjid. The other three metro stations at Taj East Gate, Basai and Fatehabad Road will be elevated.
