The '''Noida Metro ''' is a [[rapid transit]] system connecting the twin cities of [[Noida]] and [[Greater Noida]] in [[Gautam Buddh Nagar]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], India. The metro network consists of one line (called [[Aqua Line (Noida Metro)|Aqua Line]]), with a total length of {{Convert|29.7|km|mi}} serving [[List of Noida Greater Noida metro stations|21 stations]]. A second line is planned. The system has all elevated stations using [[Standard-gauge railway|standard-gauge]] tracks.

The services are available from 6:00am to 10:00pm from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays, trains are available between 8:00am and 10:00pm. The trains make 163 trips a day from Monday to Friday using a fleet of 10 trains and the frequency is 10 minutes during peak hours (8:00am–11:00am and 5:00pm–8:00pm) and 15 minutes during off-peak hours. On Saturday and Sunday the frequency is 10 minutes.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/noida/noida-aqua-line-trains-every-7-30-min-during-rush-hours-from-june-3/articleshow/69611159.cms |title = Noida metro: Noida: Aqua Line trains every 7.30 min during rush hours from June 3}}</ref> Initially, the trains are composed of four cars to be extended up to six in the future.

Noida Metro is the 11th Metro system to be built in India and 2nd in Uttar Pradesh after [[Lucknow Metro]]. It is the sixth longest operational metro network in India after the [[Delhi Metro]], [[Hyderabad Metro]], [[Chennai Metro]], [[Namma Metro]] and [[Kolkata Metro]].

Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC), a [[State-owned enterprise|state-owned corporation]], is building and owns the system. However, the operations and maintenance of Noida Metro lies with [[Delhi Metro Rail Corporation]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. {{!}} ABOUT US|url=http://www.delhimetrorail.com/about_us.aspx|access-date=2021-08-07|website=www.delhimetrorail.com}}</ref> The line is connected to [[Delhi Metro]] at [[Noida Sector 51 metro station|Noida Sector 51]] station by a footbridge. Foundation for the NMRC project was laid down in October 2014, with the construction being commenced by the end of December 2014 by then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh [[Akhilesh Yadav]]. Trial runs started in August 2018, and the metro was inaugurated on 25 January 2019 by Chief Minister of [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Yogi Adityanath]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/inauguration-of-noida-greater-noida-metro-line-likely-on-jan-25-says-nmrc-119011701092_1.html|title=Inauguration of Noida-Greater Noida metro line likely on Jan 25, says NMRC|agency=Press Trust of India|date=2019-01-17|work=Business Standard India|access-date=2019-01-17}}</ref> Noida metro is planned to be connected with blue line of DMRC and proposed [[Jewar Airport]] through Aqua line of NMRC.<ref>{{Cite web|date=April 9, 2021|title=Greater Noida to Jewar airport in less than 25 minutes?

==History==
The Uttar Pradesh government approved the construction of a {{convert|29.7|km|abbr=on}} metro line linking Noida with Greater Noida in October 2014. The government also appointed the [[Delhi Metro Rail Corporation]] (DMRC) as the turnkey consultant for the project.

The detailed project report (DPR) was prepared by the DMRC. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) called the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) was formed to implement the project.<ref name="greaternoidaauthority.in">{{cite web|url=http://www.greaternoidaauthority.in/metro|title=Noida Metro Rail – Greater Noida|website=www.greaternoidaauthority.in}}</ref> The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet approved the project and forwarded the DPR to Government of India in October 2013. The Government of India and UP will each bear 20% of the costs and loans from external agencies would be taken to fund the rest 60% of the project. Twenty percent funding from UP will be shared by Noida and Greater Noida Authorities, based on the length of track that passes through the two areas.<ref name="greaternoidaauthority.in"/>

The NMRC announced on 30 November 2016 that the first line of the metro would be called the [[Aqua Line (Noida Metro)|Aqua Line]]. Explaining the choice, NMRC managing director Santosh Yadav stated, "Aqua signifies an eco-friendly colour, which is what we want to portray."<ref name = "AquaLineAnnouncement">{{cite web|title=Noida Metro to be Aqua line|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/noida/Noida-Metro-to-be-Aqua-line/articleshow/55714876.cms|website=The Times of India|access-date=11 December 2016}}</ref> The project received safety clearance from the commissioner of metro rail safety on 21 December 2018.<ref>{{cite web |title=Aqua Line ready for launch, nod awaited from UP |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/noida/aqua-line-ready-for-launch-nod-awaited-from-state/articleshow/67201102.cms |website=The Times of India |access-date=22 December 2018}}</ref>

The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) approved an extension of the Aqua Line as part of Phase 2 of the metro project on 4 December 2018. The 15 km extension will link Noida Sector 71 to Knowledge Park 5 in Greater Noida.

==Infrastructure==
===Rolling stock===
The metro uses lightweight rakes made of stainless steel and aluminum, manufactured by China's [[CRRC Corporation]]. Each train has a seating capacity of 186 and a standing capacity of 848, with total capacity of 1,034 passengers. Nineteen rakes with four coaches each, a total of 76 coaches, will operate of the Aqua Line. The cost of each coach is {{INRConvert|4|c}}.

===Power===
All 21 stations, the train depot, and the NMRC offices will be powered by solar energy. The NMRC will install solar panels on the rooftops of all stations, footbridges, its main office building, the depot and parking lot boundary walls to generate an estimated 12 MW of solar power daily. The metro system will also be supplemented with conventional electricity, which will also be used as a backup. Trains will not be powered by solar power, and will instead use conventional power supply.<ref>{{cite web|title=Solar power to make Noida Metro India's greenest|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/noida/Solar-power-to-make-Noida-Metro-Indias-greenest/articleshow/54802523.cms|website=The Times of India|access-date=14 October 2016}}</ref>
