The suburban rail is the largest urban transit mode in India by ridership.]]Urban rail transit in India plays an important role in intracity transportation in the major cities which are highly populated. It consists of Regional Rapid Transit System, suburban rail, monorail, and tram systems.

According to a report published in 2021, a total of 2.63 billion people traveled annually in metro systems across India's fifteen major cities, placing the country as one of the busiest urban rapid transit hubs in the world in terms of commuters. As of 2025, the cumulative length of {{Convert|1000|km|mi|lk=on|abbr=off}} of seventeen metro systems in India makes it the third longest in operation in the world.{{Cite news |date=2023-10-27 |title=One crore passengers riding metro systems per day in India: Hardeep Singh Puri |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/one-crore-passengers-riding-metro-systems-per-day-in-india-hardeep-singh-puri/articleshow/104763045.cms |access-date=3 March 2024 |work= |issn=}}

The Ministry of Urban Development's Urban Transport wing is the nodal division for coordination, appraisal, and approval of Urban Transport matters including Metro Rail Projects at the central level. All the interventions in urban transport by the Ministry of Urban Development are carried out as per the provisions of the National Urban Transport Policy, 2006.{{cite web|url=http://mohua.gov.in/cms/urban-transport.php|title=Urban Transport|publisher=Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs}}

Currently, the Delhi-Meerut RRTS is the fastest urban rail transit system in India, featuring an operational speed of 160 kmph and an average speed (including stoppage time) of 100 kmph.

Terminology

Indian cities have various types of urban transit systems operational, under construction and planned. These systems are being implemented based on the population of a city, financial feasibility and demand.

† Note: Suburban rail and Vande Metro in India utilises the broad gauge network of Indian Railways and mostly shares the network and infrastructure with the rest of Indian Railway services.


‡ Note: Light Rail systems are mostly fenced and can be built with complete right of way if preferred so.

  • Rapid transit: The rapid transit or popularly known as metro in India, is an urban high-capacity rail system, commonly operated in metropolitan cities. These systems are segregated from Indian Railways and have their right-of-way.
  • Suburban Railway: Suburban rail or popularly known as local train system in India, is an urban rail transit system where the suburbs are connected to the city's centre. These systems are linked to and operated by Indian Railways. Example: Mumbai Suburban Railway
  • Medium-capacity rail: It is a rapid transit (metro) system which has a capacity higher than light rail but lower than rapid transit system to serve a medium demand. It is built considering the future rise in demand, so that it can be converted into a regular metro. Example: Rapid Metro Gurgaon
  • Light rail: Light rail which is also known as Metro Lite is used in cities that have low demand. It is a combination of rapid transit and tram systems. It has a higher capacity and speed compared to tram services and has dedicated tracks that are mostly fenced. Example: Srinagar Metro
  • Monorail: This system has trains running on a single rail/beam. It has found its application in medium capacity transport, but due to low efficiency and high costs, it has been sidelined in India. Example: Mumbai Monorail
  • Regional rapid Transit System : This system is operated either between two similarly sized cities, which are close to each other or between an urban city and smaller cities lying nearby. Example: Delhi–Meerut RRTS
  • Tram: These systems are one of the oldest modes of urban transport in India. They are low capacity, slow-moving trains which run on tracks that are embedded in the urban streets. Example: Kolkata Tram

History

=Early history=

File:Horsetram.jpg at the City Centre arcade, Salt Lake, Kolkata|190x190px|left]]

The first-ever mode of the urban rail transit system in India was commuter rail (or suburban rail), built in Mumbai on 16 April 1853. The first passenger train was flagged off from Bori Bunder (present-day Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai) from where it travelled to Thane, covering a distance of 34 km in an hour and fifteen minutes. This made it the Asia's first suburban railway.{{cite web|url=https://theculturetrip.com/asia/india/articles/the-history-of-mumbais-local-trains-in-1-minute/|title=The History of Mumbai's Local Trains in 1 Minute|publisher=The Culture Tip|date=13 September 2016}} At the turn of the 20th century, tram systems began to sprawl across the four major cities of India, viz. Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai, and helped local population to meet their intracity transportation needs. Horse-drawn tram was first introduced in Kolkata in 1873 and the electric trams began to operate in Chennai in 1895, later the cities of Mumbai, Kanpur, and Delhi saw trams being introduced. These services were discontinued in all Indian cities between 1933 and 1964, except for Kolkata where they operate on streets to the present day as heritage.{{cite news |last1=Smith |first1=R.V. |title=When trams plied |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/history-and-culture/when-trams-plied/article4424975.ece |website=The Hindu|date=17 February 2013 }}

=Metro and mass rapid transit=

File:KolkataMetroOldCoaches.jpg

In September 1919, during a session of the Imperial Legislative Council at Shimla, a committee was set up by W. E. Crum that recommended a metro line for Kolkata.{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/citys-tube-rly-plan-nipped-in-bud-a-century-ago/articleshow/73944018.cms|title=Kolkata's Tube Railway plan nipped in bud a century ago|work=The Times of India|date=5 February 2020}} The next proposal for a metro system was mooted by government of West Bengal in 1949-50 and a survey was conducted by French experts. However, the proposal could not be brought into the effect and India had to wait for its first metro service. It was twenty three years later when the foundation stone was laid in Kolkata in 1972 to commence the construction of the ambitious metro system. On 24 October 1984, India saw its first metro system operational in Kolkata. After several struggles and bureaucratic hurdles, a stretch of 3.4 km was opened with five stations on the line.{{cite web|url=https://www.urbantransportnews.com/article/history-of-metro-rail-in-india-trams-to-driverless-metro|title=History of Metro rail in India: Trams to driverless metro|publisher=Urban Transport News|date=21 May 2021}} On 1 November 1995, the Chennai MRTS began its operations, becoming the first fully elevated suburban rail line (overall second elevated railway line in India) and also the country's longest elevated suburban railway corridor spanning 17 km.{{cite book|title=Year Book 2009|publisher=Bright Publications|page=569|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NHLtQ7yOrAYC}}{{Cite web|title=Country's first elevated railway track gets operational at Rohtak|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/haryana/countrys-first-elevated-railway-track-gets-operational-at-rohtak-225597|access-date=2021-07-06|website=Tribuneindia News Service|language=en}}

The first concept of an urban rapid transit system in Delhi came out during 1969,{{cite journal |last=Siemiatycki |first=Matti |date=June 2006 |title=Message in a Metro: Building Urban Rail Infrastructure and Image in Delhi, India |journal=International Journal of Urban and Regional Research |pages=277–292 |volume=30 |issue=2 |doi=10.1111/j.1468-2427.2006.00664.x |doi-access=free }} when a traffic and travel characteristics study was conducted. The bus systems which catered the public transportation in the city soon began to run out of capacity and the traffic was on the rise, this soon became a growing concern. The concepts for an urban transit system were considered as the need for the country's capital. After planning, a proposal was made in 1984, which revealed plans for constructing three underground corridors and augmentation of the existing suburban rail system. The construction began on 1 October 1998 and the first line was operational on 24 December 2002.{{cite web|url=http://www.delhimetrorail.com/needformetro/history.aspx |title=History of Delhi Metro |publisher=DMRC |access-date=17 September 2009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100925022045/http://www.delhimetrorail.com/needformetro/history.aspx |archive-date=25 September 2010 }} With {{convert|348.12|km|mi|abbr=}}, the Delhi Metro went on to be the longest and by far the busiest metro system in India, which also served as a role model to other Indian cities.{{cite web |title=Delhi metro map |url=https://www.delhimetrorail.com/network_map |access-date=13 November 2021 |website=delhimetrorail.com}}

=Monorails and their replacement=

While the political capital of India was expanding on its success by constructing new metro lines, suburban railways remained as the dominant mode of transport in the financial capital, Mumbai. According to Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) the city bus services operating in narrow and crowded areas of the city were slow-moving and caused traffic congestion hence a rapid transit system was necessary. Since the city already had planned metro services and since the suburban railways also connected major parts of the city, a feeder system to these services was proposed in the form of Monorail.{{cite news|title=Mumbai monorail to run in two years|newspaper=The Times of India|date=27 September 2007|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/mumbai-monorail-to-run-in-two-years/articleshow/2413046.cms|access-date=19 March 2009}} After the construction was completed, On 1 February 2014, Mumbai Monorail became the first of its kind in India.{{cite news|url=http://www.mumbaimirror.com/mumbai/others/First-mono-runs-crowded-like-the-good-old-local/articleshow/29729191.cms |title=First mono runs crowded like the good old local |newspaper=Mumbai Mirror |date=1 February 2014 |access-date=2 February 2014}}{{cite web|author=Ateeq Shaikh |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-india-s-first-monorail-flagged-off-by-maharashtra-s-chief-minister-prithviraj-chavan-1958726 |title=India's first monorail flagged off by Maharashtra's Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan |publisher=DNA |date=1 February 2014 |access-date=2 February 2014}}

In the early 2010s, many cities had conceived the plan to build monorails as the major urban transportation solution to their cities. However, Mumbai's monorail soon began to reveal the underlying problems of a monorail system.{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/mono-rail/articleshow/85527974.cms|title=Mumbai: Despite govt taking over operations, Monorail continues to be plagued with problems|work=The Times of India|date=22 August 2021}} The issues such as low ridership, inefficient track maintenance (accessibility of the tracks during maintenance as well as the time taken to repair the tracks), train slowing down at the switches and for the fact that the monorail tracks had to be entirely elevated with a dedicated depot and set of rolling stocks, raised the concerns on feasibility, cost of construction and operation of the new lines significantly. For the similar reasons, almost all of the monorail systems around the world are seen in amusement parks or similar theme parks instead as a solution to the urban public transportation.{{cite web|url=https://ggwash.org/view/67201/why-cities-rarely-build-monorails-explained|title=Why cities rarely build monorails, explained|publisher=Greater Greater Washington|date=1 May 2018}} A traditional light rail system soon emerged as the efficient mode but with cheaper cost and greater capacity than what monorail offered. As a result, many Indian cities replaced their proposed monorail projects with either a regular metro or a light rail system.{{cite web|url=https://thewire.in/urban/failure-of-mumbais-monorail-holds-lessons-for-urban-planners-everywhere|title=Failure of Mumbai's Monorail Holds Lessons for Urban Planners Everywhere|publisher=The Wire|date=10 January 2019}}

Apart from the Kolkata Metro (which has its own zone under Indian Railways),{{cite web |title=Organization Structure of Indian Railways |url=https://indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/stat_econ/Year_Book/Org_Chart_1.pdf |website=Indian Railways |access-date=7 March 2023 }} these rapid transit metro lines are not operated by Indian Railways, but a separate set of local authorities. In addition to their metro systems, the cities of Chennai and Hyderabad have mass transit systems operated by the Indian Railways, known as the Chennai MRTS and the Hyderabad MMTS, respectively. The first rapid transit system in India is the Kolkata Metro, which started operations in 1984. Kolkata Metro also currently has the only underwater metro line in the country. The Delhi Metro has the largest network in the entire country.{{cite web|url=https://qz.com/india/1685731/indias-kolkata-metro-set-to-ride-underneath-hooghly-river/|title=As India readies an underwater line, here's a look at its various metro networks|first=Sangeeta|last=Tanwar|website=Quartz|date=13 August 2019 }}

In 2006, the National Urban Transport Policy had proposed the construction of a metro rail system in every city with a population of at least 20 lakh (2 million) people.{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/surat/Feasibility-report-on-Surat-metro-soon/articleshow/47129186.cms|title=Feasibility report on Surat metro soon|last=Bhatt|first=Himansshu|date=2 May 2015|website=The Times of India|access-date=14 September 2017}}{{cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/telangana/jaipals-push-set-metro-rail-projects-on-track/article28739938.ece|title=Jaipal's push set metro rail projects on track|newspaper=The Hindu |date=28 July 2019}}

From 2002 to 2014, the Indian metro infrastructure expanded by 248 km.

Later on 11 August 2014, Union Government had announced that it would provide financial assistance for the implementation of a metro rail system to all Indian cities having a population of more than 1 million.{{cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/centre-to-aid-metro-projects-in-cities-with-10-lakh-people-114081100895_1.html|title=Centre to aid Metro projects in cities with 10 lakh people|date=11 August 2014|website=Business Standard|access-date=14 September 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://smartcity.eletsonline.com/10-lakh-to-be-new-population-norm-for-metro-rail-projects/|title=10 lakh to be new population norm for Metro Rail projects|date=12 August 2014|website=Smart City|publisher=Elets Technomedia Pvt Ltd|access-date=14 September 2017}} In May 2015, the Union Government approved the Union Urban Development Ministry's proposal to implement metro rail systems in 50 cities, with the majority of the planned projects were to be implemented through special purpose vehicles, which will be established as 50:50 joint ventures between the Union and respective State Government.

In a new draft policy unveiled in March 2017, the Central Government stated that it wanted state governments to consider metro rail as the "last option" and implement it only after considering all other possible mass rapid transit systems. The decision was taken due to the high cost of constructing metro rail systems.{{cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/thesundaystandard/2017/mar/19/metro-no-more-governments-first-carrier-1582942--1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170320053410/http://www.newindianexpress.com/thesundaystandard/2017/mar/19/metro-no-more-governments-first-carrier-1582942--1.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 March 2017|title=Metro no more Government's first carrier|date=19 March 2017|website=The New Indian Express|access-date=14 September 2017}} In August 2017, the Union Government announced that it would not provide financial assistance to the new metro rail project unless some sort of private partnership is involved.{{cite web|url=http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=170009|title=Union Cabinet approves new Metro Rail Policy; Focus on compact urban development, cost reduction and multi-modal integration|date=16 August 2017|website=Press Information Bureau of India|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170820104848/http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=170009|archive-date=20 August 2017|url-status=dead|access-date=14 September 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/union-cabinet-approves-new-metro-rail-policy/article19503930.ece|title=Union Cabinet approves new metro rail policy|last=Nair|first=Sobhana|date=16 August 2017|website=The Hindu|access-date=14 September 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/for-metro-rail-states-must-bring-private-players-govt-4799851/|title=For Metro rail, states must bring private players: Govt|last=Nair|first=Shalini|date=17 August 2017|website=The Indian Express|access-date=14 September 2017}}

This means that a passenger that takes 2 connections will count 3 times towards ridership. This is different from the more standard practice of counting entire journeys applied in other metro systems. Therefore, Delhi metro reports approximately 55% higher ridership when compared to similar transit systems worldwide.

Suburban rail plays a major role in the public transport system of many major Indian cities. These services are operated by Indian Railways. Suburban rail is a rail service between a central business district and the suburbs, a conurbation or other locations that draw large numbers of people daily. The trains are called suburban trains. These trains are also referred to as "local trains" or "locals". The suburban rail systems in Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow–Kanpur and Bengaluru do not have dedicated suburban tracks but share tracks with long-distance trains. The suburban rail system of Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai have both dedicated tracks and tracks shared with long-distance trains.

The first suburban rail system in India is Mumbai Suburban Railway which started operations in 1853. The Kolkata Suburban Railway has the largest network in the entire country. The Chennai Suburban Railway started its operations in 1931.

Suburban trains that handle commuter traffic are all electric multiple units (EMUs). They usually have nine or 12 coaches, though can sometimes include 15 to handle rush hour traffic. One unit of an EMU train consists of one power car and two general coaches. Thus a nine coach EMU is made up of three units having one power car at each end and one at the middle. The rakes in the suburban rails run on 25 kV AC.{{cite web|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-elec.html#volt|title=[IRFCA] Indian Railways FAQ: Electric Traction — I|website=[IRFCA] The Indian Railways Fan Club|access-date=14 September 2017}} Ridership on India's suburban railways has risen from 1.2 million in 1970–71 to 4.4 million in 2012–13. The suburban railways of Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai occupy no more than 7.1% of the Indian Railways network, but account for 53.2% of all railway passengers.{{cite news|url=https://www.newslaundry.com/2015/09/07/why-indias-metro-and-suburban-railways-should-merge|title=Why India's Metro and suburban railways should merge|last=Chaturvedi|first=Sumit|date=7 September 2015|website=Newslaundry|access-date=14 September 2017}} In some cities of India, the opening of rapid transit systems has led to a decline in the use of the suburban rail system.{{cite news |last= Varma|first= Vishnu|date= 11 March 2016|title= Ring Railway left behind as Delhi swells beyond boundaries|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/ring-railway-in-an-ever-expanding-delhi-a-ghost-railway-service-lingers/ |work= The Indian Express|location= New Delhi|access-date=4 December 2021}}

Light rail

{{Main|Metrolite}}

{{For|Metro Neo|List of bus rapid transit systems in India#Trolleybus}}

Light rail transit (LRT) or popularly known as Metrolite in India, is a form of urban rail transit characterized by a combination of rapid transit and tram systems. It usually operates at a higher capacity than trams, and often on an exclusive right-of-way similar to rapid transit. Several tier-2 cities in India use light rail.

Tram

{{Main|Trams in India}}

File:Kolkata transport.jpg built in 1873, the only tram in India still operational. Used also as a heritage ride beside being urban transit]]

In addition to trains, trams were introduced in many cities in the late 19th century, though almost all of these were phased out. The Kolkata Tram is currently the only tram system in the country.

Due to construction of Kolkata Metro's Green Line from Salt Lake to Howrah, just {{convert|14|km|mi}} of Tramline is operational in Kolkata.

Standardisation

=Track gauge=

Unlike Broad gauge which form majority of the railway tracks in the sub-continent, metro rail lines in India are of mainly standard gauge. Projects like the Kolkata Metro and Delhi Metro used broad gauge for their earliest lines, but to procure modern foreign rakes and to adopt international standard, India went ahead with standard gauge for all the following lines.{{cite web|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/broad-gauge-for-delhi-metro-no-standard-achievement/articleshow/4050364.cms|title=Broad gauge for Delhi metro: No standard achivement|author=Dr. E Sreedharan|publisher=Economic Times|date=30 January 2009}}

{{Main|National Common Mobility Card}}

Part of the 'One Nation, One Card' policy of the Government of India, the National Common Mobility Card is an inter-operable transport card that enables users to pay for multiple kinds of transport charges like metros and buses, as well as do other things like retail shopping and money withdrawal.{{cite web |url=https://npci.org.in/PDF/npci/knowledge-center/partner-whitepapers/NCMC-Tap-and-Transit-Pan-India-with-RuPay.pdf |title= NCMC - Tap & Transit, Pan India with RuPay |date= 1 September 2023 |website= npci.org.in |publisher= National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) |access-date=14 January 2024}}{{cite web |url=https://www.drishtiias.com/daily-news-analysis/national-common-mobility-card |title= National Common Mobility Card |date= 5 March 2019 |website= drishtiias.com |publisher= Drishti IAS |access-date=14 January 2024}} It is enabled through the RuPay card mechanism. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs have been working on the card since 2006, when it was envisaged as a cashless fare payment system in accordance with the National Urban Transport Policy, 2006 (NUTP-2006). Its aim was to provide seamless connectivity to passengers across transit systems, leading to convenience, higher digital payments penetration, savings on closed loop card lifecycle management cost, and reduced operating cost.{{cite web |url=https://mohua.gov.in/upload/uploadfiles/files/CommitteeReportofNCMC03.pdf |title=Report of the Committee for Standards and Specifications of National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) |date=25 July 2015 |website=mohua.gov.in |publisher=Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs |access-date=14 January 2024 |page=9}}{{cite web |url=https://smartnet.niua.org/sites/default/files/resources/ncmc_standards_spc04.pdf |title=NCMC-'More' - Submission of Minimum Standards & Specification Document for Card and Devices |last=Singh |first=RK |date=9 May 2012 |website=smartnet.niua.org |publisher=Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs |access-date=14 January 2024}}
