  • Normal fares on the open section are INR 10 (approx. USD 0.10), INR 15 (approx. USD 0.16), or INR 20 (approx. USD 0.21), depending on the trip.
  • Service runs from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with a peak interval of 5 minutes 48 seconds.
  • For the Taj Mahal, Taj Mahal Metro is about 0.7 km from the West Gate, much closer than the walking route from Taj East Gate Metro to the East Gate.

Current metro service updates for Agra

As of August 14, 2026, passenger service runs only between Taj East Gate and Mankameshwar; the remaining Phase 1 stations are not open. Current service information is available from UPMRC.

How to read the Agra Metro Map in 2026

Agra only began carrying metro passengers on March 6, 2024, and the contrast between its compact operating line and much larger official plan is the key to reading this map.

As of August 14, 2026, the approved Phase 1 project overview spans 29.4 km and 27 stations, but current UPMRC data covers only the six-station operating section from Taj East Gate to Mankameshwar.

Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation, usually shortened to UPMRC, operates this compact line. The 11-minute end-to-end ride is useful for short trips in central Agra.

Six stations are open, three elevated and three underground. Open stations have elevators and escalators, tactile lines, Braille plates, wider access gates, and staff-assisted wheelchairs.

The official map includes sections that are not available for passenger travel. The operating-status table below distinguishes the open priority section, construction areas, and the approved target network.

Agra Metro station list for the open Line 1 section

  • Taj East Gate: open and elevated; Gate 1 is by TDI Mall and Gate 2 by Santi Manglik Hospital.
  • Shaheed Captain Shubham Gupta: open and elevated; this station was formerly named Basai.
  • Fatehabad Road: open and elevated.
  • Taj Mahal: open and underground; Gate 1 is at Purani Mandi Chauraha.
  • Agra Fort: open and underground; Gate 1 is at Ram Leela Maidan.
  • Mankameshwar: open and underground; the former station name was Jama Masjid.

The six open Agra Metro stations are listed in travel order. Taj East Gate to Mankameshwar is the complete passenger route shown by current UPMRC data.

Sikandra, Agra Cantt, RBS College, and Kalindi Vihar may appear on the broader plan, but none is part of the six-station passenger section.

How useful is the Agra Metro for tourists?

The operating line is practical for the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and the old-city area around Mankameshwar and Jama Masjid. Other major sights still require an auto-rickshaw, taxi, bus, or road transfer.

For most Taj Mahal visitors, Taj Mahal Metro is the practical stop. From Gate 1, listed in UPMRC’s station details, the walking route to the West Gate is about 0.7 km and takes roughly 8 to 10 minutes.

Taj East Gate Metro is less convenient than its name suggests. Its Gate 1 is about 2.4 km from the Taj East Gate by the walking route, around 28 to 30 minutes on foot.

The West Gate is the monument’s main entrance, while official visitor guidance recommends the East Gate for avoiding crowds. The Taj Mahal is generally open from 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes before sunset and is closed to general visitors on Fridays.

UPMRC’s station details place Agra Fort Metro Gate 1 at Ram Leela Maidan. The walk to Amar Singh Gate is about 0.6 km, or 8 to 10 minutes.

UPMRC’s station details place Mankameshwar Gate 1 at Bijli Ghar Chauraha. The walk to Jama Masjid is about 0.6 km and takes around eight minutes.

The Taj Mahal in Agra rises beyond its formal garden and reflecting pool.

Itmad-ud-Daulah and Mehtab Bagh sit beyond the open metro corridor. From Mankameshwar, the road distances are about 3.4 km and 5.3 km respectively, so an auto-rickshaw or taxi is more practical than walking.

Sikandra has no open station. Akbar’s tomb is about 10 km from the city center and can be reached by city bus, auto-rickshaw, or taxi.

Agra Cantt is outside the operating network. The Taj Mahal is about 6 km from the railway station; onward options include pre-paid taxis, auto-rickshaws, and cycle-rickshaws.

Fatehpur Sikri lies 36 to 40 km west of Agra via NH-21. There is no open metro connection; official access options include UPSRTC buses from ISBT or Idgah and taxis.

Agra Metro service hours and train frequency

The first train runs at 6:00 AM and the last train at 10:00 PM. The timetable provides no direction-specific first or last train times for Agra.

The UPMRC timetable gives an end-to-end travel time of 11 minutes from Taj East Gate to Mankameshwar and a peak interval of 5 minutes 48 seconds.

The timetable gives no separate weekend, holiday, off-peak, or late-evening interval. Regular service ends with the 10:00 PM last train; current Timetable information is available from UPMRC.

Does the Agra Metro connect to Delhi, Agra Cantt or Agra Airport?

The systems in Agra and Delhi are separate. There is no metro ride from Delhi to Agra; travelers need an intercity train, bus, or road journey before using local transport.

One current Indian Railways timetable lists Intercity 14212 from New Delhi at 5:35 PM to Agra Cantt at 10:05 PM, a journey of 4 hours 30 minutes. UPMRC’s current service data shows that Agra Cantt itself has no open metro station.

AAI airport transport information lists no metro service for Agra Airport, also called Kheria Airport, and the UPMRC project report does not place the airport on either corridor. AAI aerodrome information places the airport about 10 km west of the city, while Agra District travel information gives a distance of 13 km from the Taj Mahal.

AAI airport transport information lists no formal airport bus, taxi, or rental-car service. A pre-arranged road pickup is therefore the practical option.

Agra Metro expansion: What comes next?

As of August 14, 2026, UPMRC’s live station list ended at Mankameshwar. Every other Phase 1 section remained under construction: Corridor 1 toward ISBT and Sikandra, and Corridor 2 between Agra Cantt and Kalindi Vihar.

A contractor update records a 6 km test run from Mankameshwar to ISBT on December 30, 2025. UPMRC’s June 2026 station update still described RBS College as an upcoming station; neither section was open to passengers on August 14, 2026.

UPMRC’s May 2026 construction update records work at a new Yamuna bridge. The 15.7 km Corridor 2 is not open to passengers.

The approved Phase 1 project overview totals 29.4 km and 27 stations across both corridors.

Fun Fact: In a project overview updated on November 20, 2024, UPMRC reported that the 3 km underground priority section had been completed in 18 months, including 11 months from the start of tunnel-boring work.
