The Lucknow Metro project is built to serve the growing population of Uttar Pradesh, North India, as well as to serve the areas that are not connected by the existing rail system. The 35km rail system comprises 22 stations, of which 19 will be elevated.

The first phase of the project consists construction of 2 rail lines (North- South and East-West corridor), connecting the four corners of Lucknow by running through the heart of the city. Being implemented by Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC), the Phase 1 comprises the construction of 22.8km long North-South corridor.

The priority section is the 8.5 kilometers linking Transport Nagar to Charbagh.
Una vez operativo, el Metro de Lucknow ayudará a aliviar el tráfico en la ciudad y también reducirá el tiempo de viaje de los viajeros.
