== History ==
The LMRC was formed as a special purpose vehicle by the [[Government of Uttar Pradesh]] in 2013 to build and operate the Lucknow Metro.<ref name="bp1">{{cite web|url=http://news.biharprabha.com/2013/10/metro-rail-construction-at-lucknow-to-begin-by-december/|title=Metro Rail Construction at Lucknow to begin by December|date=9 October 2013|website=Biharprabha|access-date=16 September 2017}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.lmrcl.com/about/lucknow-metro-rail-corporation/|title=About Us|website=Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation|access-date=16 September 2017}}</ref>

The formation of LMRC was formally approved by the Cabinet of [[Uttar Pradesh Government]] in June 2013.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/lucknow-metro-rail-gets-green-signal-113062700606_1.html|title=Lucknow Metro rail gets green signal|last=Rawat|first=Virendra Singh|date=27 June 2013|newspaper=[[Business Standard]]|access-date=19 September 2017}}</ref>

The SPV was incorporated under ''Companies Act, 1956'' on 25 November 2013,<ref name=":0" /> and it got the certificate to commence business on 24 December 2013.<ref name=":0" /> The [[Authorised capital|authorized capital]] of the company was decided to be {{INRConvert|2000|c|0}}.<ref name=":0" />

In 2016, to speed up clearance processes for [[Lucknow Metro]], LMRC became a 50:50 joint venture between the [[Government of India]] and the [[Government of Uttar Pradesh]].<ref name=":53">{{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> As a result, the LMRC board was reconstituted with five nominee directors being nominated by both [[Government of India]] and [[Government of Uttar Pradesh]] each, apart from the three full-time directors. Additionally, the [[Chief Secretary (India)|Chief Secretary]] of [[Government of Uttar Pradesh|Uttar Pradesh]] was replaced by the [[Secretary to Government of India|Union Urban Development Secretary]] as the ''ex-officio'' Chairman of LMRC.<ref name=":53" />

In 2018, LMRC was reconstituted to cover and implement other metro projects in the state and renamed as Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation.<ref name="auto"/>
