Meerut Metro
The Meerut Metro (Hindi: मेरठ मेट्रो) was a proposed rapid transit system in the city of Meerut, India. The feasibility study of the project was completed by RITES in June 2015. Since government has merged the line 1 of meerut metro into RRTS,it is likely to be completed around 2025 (Phase 1) with RRTS project. This will save atlaest 6500 crore rupees. At the other side LMRC has floated tenders for the detailed design of Meerut metro line 2.
