Agra’s 15.4-km Blue Line moves closer to opening after fresh trials

Agra Metro’s Blue Line has reached a new testing milestone after a train completed a trial run on a three-kilometre downline section between the depot entry line and Sadar Bazar Metro Station.

The trial marks the first time a Metro train has passed through Mall Road on this section of the planned corridor.

The Blue Line, also known as Corridor 2, is planned to connect Agra Cantt railway station with Kalindi Vihar. The full corridor will cover 15.4 km and have 14 elevated stations.

The route is intended to extend Metro connectivity to areas that are not served by the first operational corridor, including neighbourhoods around the Collectorate, Sanjay Place and other residential and commercial areas.

Trial runs have begun on the Blue Line’s Depot–Sadar Bazar downline. The 15.4-km corridor from Agra Cantt to Kalindi Vihar, along with the Yellow Line, is expected to be ready by next year.

The first corridor, known as the Yellow Line, runs between Taj East Gate and Sikandra and covers approximately 14 km with 13 stations.

Together, the two corridors are planned to form a Metro network of approximately 29.4 km, broadening public transport access across the city.

The Blue Line is expected to provide an additional option for commuters travelling between the railway station, administrative and commercial districts, and residential neighbourhoods. It is also expected to improve access to public transport for residents and visitors.

The wider Metro plan includes integration with railway services and the Bus Rapid Transit System, along with feeder buses and intermediate public transport services to connect surrounding areas with stations.

The trial run is an operational-testing milestone rather than the start of passenger services. Further testing and the necessary clearances will be required before the full corridor can open.

The project has been reported as expected to be ready by next year, although a specific passenger-service opening date has not been announced in the report.

The testing programme will help establish the readiness of the new corridor as Agra expands its rail-based public transport network.
