I can’t believe it, but today marks the 9th anniversary of The Metro Rail Guy! Back on July 11, 2015, I embarked on an epic journey to document and share unique updates on the progress of India’s metro systems, and I’m so happy that many of you have been able to follow along for that journey. I’m always looking to expand my network. It you’re associated with India’s metro or infrastructure development in any way – then drop me a message. Let’s chat 🙂

Pleasently surprised to see more Indian metro stations embracing tensile design elements! If I recall, Rapid Metro Gurgaon was the first to lead the way with its stunning roof canopies.
