India is slowly but surely building out urban transit systems in major cities across the country. There is an updated list of current and proposed metro systems here, but I wanted to see a list of metro maps, so I made this list.

This page features metro systems, and I will add trams and monorails later. Note that there is so much construction happening that the list will go out of date quickly. I will update it periodically when a new line or system is launched.

Delhi / National Capital Region (NCR)

Delhi

Delhi Metro: delhimetrorail.com | Wikipedia

The official Delhi Metro map can be downloaded as a PDF. The website has a cleaner route finder map, though it’s not downloadable.

The Rapid Transit Map of Delhi at Wikimedia shows the lines correctly scaled overlaid on the road map. Note how the scale differs on each map. The subway map compresses the lines so they fit into a compact map, similar to how the London Underground map has station evenly spaced out

Gurgaon

Rapid Metro Gurgaon: delhimetrorail.com/rapid-metro | Wikipedia

Rapid Metro Gurgaon is a single line operated by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC), and it connects to the Delhi system at Sikanderpur on the Yellow Line. This is represented on the Delhi metro map, and there is a map of the line on Wikimedia.

Noida

Noida Metro: nmrcnoida.com | Wikipedia

Noida Metro has 1 line, and the official map looks like they just took a screenshot of an online map and added extra details.

Noida Metro

The official site also has a map of proposed lines.

Northern

Jaipur

Jaipur Metro: transport.rajasthan.gov.in/jmrc | Wikipedia

Jaipur is known as Pink City, and the first line is the Pink Line. The planned second line will be the Orange Line. I will confidentially assume that this is the first time that pink and orange has been used as the first two colours for a metro system.

The official website appears to have gone offline, so the government transport ministry has the route map. This map shows the future lines as well.

The map on Wikimedia hasn’t used the official line colours, but it has a pink background instead.

Kolkata Metro: mtp.indianrailways.gov.in | Wikipedia

The Kolkata Metro is the oldest system in India, having opened its first line in 1984. The official map of the Kolkata Metro looks to be from around the same era. It is a busy map that is crammed with details.

Mumbai

Mumbai Metro: mmrcl.com | Wikipedia

Mumbai has 3 operational lines, 8 under construction, 5 approved, and 1 proposed. I couldn’t find any map on the official site, and the government project page doesn’t have a map either.

I found the Maha Mumbai Metro Network Diagram map via Reddit, but it doesn’t show the original source.

Wiki usually has an updated current map, but I could only find an old map with 2 lines.

There is a Wikimedia map that shows the future urban rail network combining the metro and regional railway. This map looks similar in colour and style to the New York City subway map.

Pune Metro has two lines operating, and a third line is planned. The first two lines are shown on the official route map.

The official site also provide a route map with the lines on a street map, which is something more metro websites should do.

The map on Wikimedia shows what the metro system might look like in 2026, and the lines look like the circles of the Tamil language.
