Namo Bharat and Meerut Metro Timings: What Is Published
Short answer: NCRTC's portal shows the first train from the terminals at about 6:00 AM and the last train at about 10:00 PM, every day. On 12 November 2026 trains left Sarai Kale Khan about every 10 minutes. NCRTC has not published a Sunday or holiday timetable or station-wise times, so those are coming soon.
Key facts
| Days | Every day (the portal lists no weekday split) |
| First train | About 6:00 AM from the terminals |
| Last train | About 10:00 PM from the terminals |
| Gap between trains | About 10 minutes (live check, 12 November 2026) |
| Sunday and holiday timetable | Not published, coming soon |
| Station-wise times | Not published, coming soon |
What are the first and last train times?
The portal lists these times for the terminals. They are indicative, as the portal itself says.
| From | Service | First | Last |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sarai Kale Khan towards Modipuram | Namo Bharat | 6:00 AM | 10:00 PM |
| Modipuram towards Sarai Kale Khan | Namo Bharat | 6:01 AM | 10:01 PM |
| Modipuram towards Meerut South | Meerut Metro | 6:06 AM | 10:06 PM |
Do not use the times shown for single stations on the portal. They do not match the terminal times. For example, one Meerut station shows a last train after 11:00 PM. We do not publish them. Our timings page carries the same facts.
How often do trains run?
On Thursday 12 November 2026 at about 7:46 PM, the portal's live feed showed trains from Sarai Kale Khan at 7:51, 8:01 and 8:11 PM. Meerut Metro trains from Meerut South to Modipuram showed 7:50, 8:00 and 8:10 PM. That is a gap of 10 minutes.
The portal FAQ still says 15 minutes, which looks like older text. News reports say NCRTC added eight more trips between Sarai Kale Khan and Meerut South in peak hours from 22 May 2026 (India TV News). It also ran 52 extra trips with a gap of 8 minutes during the Kanwar Yatra, from 30 July to 14 August 2026 (ThePrint).
Which trains stop where?
On 12 November 2026 the live feed showed Namo Bharat trains with two stopping patterns. Some stopped only at Sarai Kale Khan, Anand Vihar, Sahibabad, Guldhar, Duhai, Modi Nagar South, Modi Nagar North, Meerut South, Shatabdi Nagar, Begumpul and Modipuram. Others also stopped at Ghaziabad and Murad Nagar, and some started from New Ashok Nagar. Meerut Metro trains ran between Meerut South and Modipuram, and some skipped Bhaisali or Meerut North. This pattern can change, so read the station board, not only this page.
NCRTC's portal also has a next-trains view for a pair of stations. The gap figures above came from it.
What are the Sunday and holiday timings?
Coming soon. The portal shows the same hours for every day. A news report from February 2026 said Sunday service was expected to start at 8:00 AM (Outlook Traveller). The portal does not show this, so we do not use it. On a Sunday or a holiday, check at the station or call the helpline, 08069651515.
How long does the ride take?
For all-stop trains NCRTC lists about 45 minutes 30 seconds from Sarai Kale Khan to Meerut South and about 64 minutes to Modipuram. News reports give 55 to 58 minutes for limited-stop trains. On 12 November 2026 the live feed showed limited-stop and all-stop Namo Bharat trains, so some trains skip some stations. Check the station board.
How should I plan an early or late trip?
- Treat 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM as the terminal times, not the time at your own station.
- Keep 15 to 20 minutes spare, especially if you must change trains.
- If you change between Namo Bharat and Meerut Metro, plan for the last Meerut Metro train, not only the last Namo Bharat train.
- Check the notices page and the NCRTC portal before you leave.
