The Lucknow metro project is the most expensive transport system in Uttar Pradesh to date with an estimated total cost for Phase 1A (Red Line) and 1B (Blue Line) of about $2 billion, of which {{INRConvert|6928|c|lk=on}} is being spent on phase 1A.<ref name=":18" /> The [[Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation]], a 50:50 joint venture between the [[Government of India]] and the [[Government of Uttar Pradesh]], was established to build and operate the metro.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/lucknow/lucknow-metro-a-joint-venture-now-clearances-to-be-faster/story-p9lrLGUhr3tE9uc3X4EjYN.html|title=Lucknow Metro a joint venture now, clearances to be faster|date=30 March 2016|website=[[Hindustan Times]]|access-date=16 September 2017}}</ref>

==History==
The original design of the metro project included one north–south and one east–west corridor, with links through Gomti Nagar. Estimated costs for the north–south corridor were {{INRConvert|5413|c|year=2011|to=USD}}, {{INRConvert|3611|c|year=2011|to=USD}} for the east–west corridor and {{INRConvert|495|c|year=2011|to=USD}} for the link through Gomti Nagar.<ref name="IndianExpress2">{{cite news|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/up-in-search-of-financial-model-to-make-metro-costeffective/800867/0|title=UP in search of financial model to make metro cost-effective|date=8 June 2011|newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|access-date=18 September 2017}}</ref> The initial layout of the east–west corridor started from Rajajipuram and ended at Hahnemann, after passing through [[Gomti Nagar]] via [[Hazratganj]] and Patrakarpuram, a distance of {{convert|14|km}}. However, in 2010 the design was changed so the corridor started from Vasant Kunj and terminated at Charbagh, a revised distance of {{convert|13|km}}.<ref name="IndianExpress1">{{cite news|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/dmrc-proposes-new-changes-in-lucknow-metro-c/576622/|title=DMRC proposes new changes in Lucknow Metro corridors|last=Verma|first=Lalmani|date=7 February 2010|newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|access-date=18 September 2017}}</ref>

The design of north–south corridor had two elevated sections, with a total distance of {{cvt|19|km|mi|adj=mid|}}, separated by a {{cvt|3|km|mi|adj=mid| tunnel}}. The length of the ramps between the elevated and below ground sections would total {{cvt|0.8|km|mi|adj=mid|}}. When completed, the corridor would run for a total distance of {{convert|23|km}} and connect Amausi airport to Munshipulia.<ref name=":10">{{Cite web|url=http://www.lmrcl.com/project/dpr-of-lucknow-metro/|title=Updated Final Detailed Project Report for Lucknow Metro Rail Project (Phase –I)|date=October 2013|website=[[Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation]]|publisher=[[Delhi Metro Rail Corporation]]|access-date=19 September 2017}}</ref><ref name="up">{{cite web|url=http://awas.up.nic.in/Lucknow%20DPR%20Oct%202013_Final.pdf|title=Updated Final Detailed Project Report for Lucknow Metro Rail Project (Phase –I)|date=October 2013|website=Department of Housing and Urban Planning, [[Government of Uttar Pradesh]]|publisher=[[Delhi Metro Rail Corporation]]|access-date=19 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303213315/http://awas.up.nic.in/Lucknow%20DPR%20Oct%202013_Final.pdf|archive-date=3 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> Passengers would be served by a total of 22 stations, with 19 elevated and 3 below ground.<ref name="Alstom Press Release">{{cite web|url=http://www.alstom.com/press-centre/2015/10/alstom-to-provide-metro-trainsets-and-a-signalling-solution-for-lucknows-first-metro-line-/|title=Alstom to provide metro trainsets and a signalling solution for Lucknow's first metro line|date=5 October 2015|website=[[Alstom]]|access-date=18 September 2017}}</ref> Elevated stations were to be located at [[Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport metro station|Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport]], [[Amausi metro station|Amausi]], [[Transport Nagar metro station|Transport Nagar]], [[Krishna Nagar metro station|Krishna Nagar]], [[Singar Nagar metro station|Singar Nagar]], [[Alambagh metro station|Alambagh]], [[Alambagh ISBT metro station|ISBT]], [[Mawaiya metro station|Mawaiya]], [[Durgapuri metro station|Durgapuri]], [[Charbagh metro station|Charbagh]]. Following Charbagh station, the line descends underground where [[Hussain Ganj metro station|Hussain Ganj]], [[Sachivalaya metro station|Sachivalaya]] (Uttar Pradesh Secretariat) and [[Hazratganj metro station|Hazratganj]] stations are located. The line then returns above ground for the remaining stations of the corridor, [[KD Singh Babu Stadium metro station|KD Singh Babu Stadium]], [[Lucknow University metro station|Lucknow University]], [[IT Chauraha metro station|IT College]], [[Badshahnagar metro station|Badshahnagar]], [[Lekhraj Market metro station|Lekhraj Market]], [[Ramsagar Mishra Nagar metro station|Ramsagar Mishra Nagar]], [[Indira Nagar metro station|Indira Nagar]] and the terminus at [[Munshi Pulia metro station|Munshi Pulia]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Lucknow-Metro-gets-a-blueprint-from-Delhi/611040|title=Lucknow Metro Rail gets a blueprint from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation|date=25 April 2010|newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|access-date=18 September 2017}}</ref>

The metro could accommodate speeds up to {{cvt|90|km/h}} but the typical usage would be at speeds of {{cvt|34|km/h}} for the north–south corridor and {{cvt|32|km/h}} for the east–west corridor. Originally, the metro trains were to be housed in one of two depots, a {{convert|20|ha|acre}} depot at Vasant Kunj and another at the airport, but due to security concerns the airport depot was removed from the plan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.propertynice.com/lucknow-metro-rail-makes-a-turn-towards-gomtinagar|title=Lucknow metro rail makes a turn towards Gomtinagar|date=7 June 2011|website=Lucknow Properties|url-status=dead|access-date=12 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827151043/http://blog.propertynice.com/lucknow-metro-rail-makes-a-turn-towards-gomtinagar/|archive-date=27 August 2011}}</ref>

In 2013, a report published by the Department of Housing and Urban Planning of the [[Government of Uttar Pradesh]] resulted in major changes to the metro project. The two corridor design was scrapped and replaced with one featuring a denser network of connectivity. This revision resulted in the layout of route being entirely elevated with no underground sections. The increased coverage of the metro would raise the cost of the project but reduced the operating cost per km. The reduction in operating cost is impacted by the difference in construction costs of the line itself, one km of overhead track costs {{INRConvert|180|c|lk=on}} as compared to {{INRConvert|550|c|lk=on}} for an underground track. The underground design also raised concerns about safety as well as increased energy consumption. The report also proposed the construction of an elevated [[Bus Rapid Transit System]] (BRTS) as a feeder service to the metro.<ref name = "NewMetro">{{cite web |author=Priyanka Singh |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-02-21/lucknow/37221048_1_ppp-model-metro-project-lucknow-metro |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929173452/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-02-21/lucknow/37221048_1_ppp-model-metro-project-lucknow-metro |url-status=dead |archive-date=29 September 2013 |title=New Metro plan recommends network across Lucknow |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |date=21 February 2013 |access-date=28 February 2013}}</ref>
