The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) said it will boost train frequency during peak periods starting November 1, 2026, cutting the headway from the current 7 minutes 30 seconds to 6 minutes 35 seconds. The corporation also indicated that it is evaluating an extension of its late‑night operations, with the last train from Sector 51 to Depot Station slated to depart at 11:25 pm, pending final operational clearance.
The decision comes after NMRC recorded its highest single‑day ridership of 105,358 passengers on October 23 and reported a 20 % rise in average daily boardings, attributed to measures such as QR‑code ticketing, the National Common Mobility Card, and improved foot‑over‑bridge connectivity. The 29.7‑km Aqua Line, comprising 21 stations from Depot to Sector 50, will see these schedule adjustments aimed at meeting growing commuter demand.
NMRC highlighted that the frequency increase and potential late‑night extension are part of broader efforts to enhance passenger convenience and promote public transport usage. The corporation is consulting stakeholders to improve last‑mile connectivity, underscoring its commitment to safe, reliable, and efficient metro services for residents of Noida and the surrounding Uttar Pradesh region.
