India's Metro Systems: Driving Sustainable Urban Growth & Decarbonization

India's metro systems are driving sustainable urban growth and decarbonization, expanding as a low-carbon mass transit solution across numerous cities.

Metro systems have transformed urban travel in India, covering over 1,000 km across 11 states and 23 cities, and serving millions of commuters daily with fast, affordable, and efficient transportation. With this rapid expansion, India now boasts the third-largest metro network in the world, marking a significant leap toward modern urban mobility. But metros are much more than just a way to get from point A to point B — they are reshaping how India moves, lives, and grows, while playing a crucial role in the country’s climate and sustainability ambitions.
