The Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) is a joint venture company that operates the Lucknow Metro, Kanpur Metro and Agra Metro.[2]The Varanasi Metro, Prayagraj Metro, Gorakhpur Metro, and Bareilly Metro are proposed by UPMRC. The company's headquarters is at Vipin Khand, Gomti Nagar in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India.[3][2]

The Noida Metro, although located in Uttar Pradesh, is not operated by UPMRC and is instead operated by the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC), a separate company.

Similarly, Meerut Metro and Delhi Meerut RRTS also located in Uttar Pradesh are not operated by UPMRC and are instead operated by National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC).

History

The Lucknow Metro The first metro operated by UPMRC.

The LMRC was formed as a special purpose vehicle by the Government of Uttar Pradesh in 2013 to build and operate the Lucknow Metro.[4][5]

The formation of LMRC was formally approved by the Cabinet of Uttar Pradesh Government in June 2013.[6]

The SPV was incorporated under Companies Act, 1956 on 25 November 2013,[5] and it got the certificate to commence business on 24 December 2013.[5] The authorised capital of the company was decided to be ₹2,000 crore (US$234 million).[5]

In 2016, to speed up clearance processes for Lucknow Metro, LMRC became a 50:50 joint venture between the Government of India and the Government of Uttar Pradesh.[7]

As a result, the LMRC board was reconstituted with five nominee directors being nominated by both Government of India and Government of Uttar Pradesh each, apart from the three full-time directors. Additionally, the Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh was replaced by the Union Urban Development Secretary as the ex-officio Chairman of LMRC.[7]

In 2017. the Lucknow Metro was inaugurated and opened to the public.[8]

In 2018, LMRC was reconstituted to cover and implement other metro projects in the state and renamed as Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation.[2]

Kanpur Metro was the fastest built metro system in the world.

In 2021, the Kanpur Metro was open to the public. This was the fastest built and commissioned metro system in the world built in 24 months.

On 6 March 2024, PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the priority corridor of the Agra Metro.
