Meerut Metro FAQs

Trains run every day. From the terminals the first train leaves at about 6:00 AM and the last at about 10:00 PM, as shown on the NCRTC portal. A separate Sunday and holiday timetable is not published (coming soon). Station-wise times are also coming soon, because the portal rows do not match the terminal times.

Standard fares are Rs 20 to Rs 210 and Premium fares are Rs 20 to Rs 250, from NCRTC's station-pair fare matrix read on 12 November 2026. Sarai Kale Khan to Meerut South is Rs 160 Standard or Rs 190 Premium. Sarai Kale Khan to Modipuram is Rs 210 Standard or Rs 250 Premium. Premium is only on Namo Bharat trains.

On 12 November 2026 the NCRTC portal showed trains from Sarai Kale Khan about every 10 minutes. The portal FAQ still says 15 minutes, which looks like older text. News reports say NCRTC added extra trips in peak hours from 22 May 2026 (India TV News).

Use the journey planner on the home page and pick any two of the 23 stations. It shows the Standard fare, the Premium fare when one exists, and which service you ride. If you go between a Namo Bharat only station and a Meerut Metro only station, you change trains at a shared station.

Buy an eQR ticket in the NAMO BHARAT Connect app, a paper QR ticket from a ticket vending machine or counter, or use an NCMC card. NCMC cards can be recharged at the counters. A ticket is for the same day, and you should scan it within 240 minutes of buying.

The line has 23 stations from Sarai Kale Khan (Delhi) to Modipuram (Meerut): 3 in Delhi, 6 in Ghaziabad, 2 in Modinagar and 12 in Meerut. 15 are Namo Bharat stops and the Meerut Metro serves 12 Meerut stops, of which 8 are only for Meerut Metro.

All 23 stations are in the NCRTC station list and fare matrix, and the portal's live train feed showed trains serving them on 12 November 2026. Duhai Depot, a spur station off Duhai, did not show a train in our check, so please confirm before you plan to use it.

NCRTC lists parking at 17 stations, from Sarai Kale Khan to Modipuram, and not at Duhai Depot, Partapur, Meerut Central, MES Colony, Daurli and Meerut North. Parking is free for the first 10 minutes. For example, a car in Uttar Pradesh costs Rs 30 for up to 6 hours. See the rules and facilities page for the full rates.

NCRTC says there is space for a stretcher or wheelchair in the first coach towards Delhi and the last coach towards Meerut, lifts take stretchers, and some seats are reserved for persons with disability and senior citizens. The portal does not make clear which stations are fully accessible, so we do not claim it for each station.

NCRTC lists no airport link. In Delhi, Sarai Kale Khan is close to Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station, and Anand Vihar is near the Anand Vihar Railway Station and ISBT. For Delhi Metro, Anand Vihar is near the Blue Line and Pink Line station, and Sarai Kale Khan is close to the Delhi Metro's Sarai Kale Khan station.

Both use one line from Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi to Modipuram in Meerut, run by NCRTC, with the same app, tickets and fares. Namo Bharat is the regional rail with 15 stops from Delhi to Meerut. Meerut Metro serves the Meerut city stops: 8 stations are only for Meerut Metro, and 4 are shared with Namo Bharat (Meerut South, Shatabdi Nagar, Begumpul and Modipuram). All 23 stations are open.

Board Namo Bharat at Sarai Kale Khan, New Ashok Nagar or Anand Vihar. Sarai Kale Khan to Meerut South is Rs 160 Standard or Rs 190 Premium, and NCRTC lists about 45 minutes 30 seconds for the all-stop ride. For a Meerut city stop such as Meerut Central, change to Meerut Metro at a shared station. Anand Vihar is near the Delhi Metro Blue Line and Pink Line station, as NCRTC says.

NCRTC's fare policy page says a paper ticket can be refunded through customer care and an app ticket cannot. One FAQ answer says an unused QR ticket paid digitally can be refunded if you raise a request within 10 days. The answers conflict, so ask NCRTC on 08069651515 before you rely on a refund.

NCRTC's fare policy page lists a 20% discount on paper QR return tickets and on one-tap app booking, and trip, weekend and period passes. The portal's own settings show round trips, one-tap and passes as switched off, so ask at the station. Children under 90 cm with an adult travel free. No student or senior citizen concession is published.

NCRTC's fare policy page lists luggage limits of 30 cm, 50 cm and 80 cm, but the weight is printed as 25g, which is clearly a typing error. We do not state a weight. The trains have luggage racks. Pets and bicycles are not allowed.

Tell station staff, security, a train attendant or the customer care centre (08069651515). NCRTC says lost items are claimed at its Lost Property Office at Ghaziabad station with proof of travel and a government photo ID, within 180 days, and the service is free.
