Srinagar Metro

The Srinagar Metro is a light rail transit planned for the city of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. The plans for the Srinagar Metro have been finalised with the work expected to start once the project gets nod from union cabinet. The proposed network will have two corridors. Each corridor of Srinagar metro will have 12 stations each with the total cost expected to be ₹5,559 crore.

Former Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) chief E. Sreedharan, who is popularly known as 'Metro Man' following his success in Konkan railway and Delhi Metro, was appointed as the project head.

History Jammu and Kashmir state government has planned to introduce a metro rail system in cities of Srinagar and Jammu which respectively serve as Summer and winter capital of the state. The government had hired an infrastructure development enterprise, RITES to conduct a traffic analysis. The government has planned to approach Delhi Metro Rail Corporation for a detailed project including feasibility and financial viability.

As of 4th July 2023, the Jammu and Kashmir administration has proposed the introduction of MetroLite lines in Srinagar and Jammu cities, as reported by The Indian Express. This development aims to improve the public transportation system in the region and will be the first metro lines to be established in Jammu and Kashmir. The proposed project includes a 25 km line in Srinagar and a 23 km line in Jammu. The administration's decision to opt for the MetroLite system, with its lower capital and operational costs, reflects the unique requirements and feasibility of the region. The implementation of these metro lines is expected to enhance connectivity and provide commuters with a more convenient and efficient mode of transportation.

Route Two elevated corridors have been planned in Phase 1, with an estimated ridership of 200,000 by the year 2027. The Line 2 is planned to be extended until Srinagar Airport in phase 2. The depot is set to be constructed near HMT Junction of Line 1.
