Ahmedabad Metro is a rapid transit system for the cities of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar in Gujarat state of India.

The Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation Limited was established in February 2010 and the 40.03 km (24.873 mi) long Phase–1 of the project was approved in October 2013 with two corridors, North–South and East–West. The construction started on 14 March 2015. A 6.5 km (4.039 mi) section of East–West corridor was inaugurated on 4 March 2019 and opened to the public on 6 March 2019. The rest of the Phase–1 was inaugurated on 30 September 2022 and opened to public on 2 and 6 October 2022; except the Thaltej Gam end and three stations.[7]

In January 2021, the construction of the 28.26 km (17.560 mi) long Phase-2 connecting Ahmedabad with Gandhinagar also started. The branch line connecting to GIFT City is expected to open in early 2024.
