Guwahati Metro is a planned 61.40 km Urban Mass Transit System (MRTS) in Guwahati City, Assam, with 4 lines and 54 stations.
RITES completed a feasibility study and detailed project report (DPR) for the Guwahati Metro Phase 1 project in January 2016. This DPR and the establishment of Guwahati Metro Rail Corporation Limited (GMRCL) to implement the project was approved by the Government of Assam on February 26, 2016.
In January 2017, the new government’s provincial cabinet reviewed the project and recommended amending the DPR to add lines connecting Dharapur and Guwahati airports, North Guwahati and AIIMS in Phase 1 itself.
As of March 2020, RITES is responsible for preparing the Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) and Alternative Analysis Report (AA) for Guwahati. Once these decisions are clarified, Metro Guwahati’s DPR will be updated and confirmed accordingly.

Why there is no metro in Guwahati
It has been 5 years now and the GDD Department has not done enough to start the project, which makes the metro rail in Guwahati a distant dream. However, it must be noted that if the population of Guwahati has reached 20 lakhs, it is the right time to plan for a metro system for the city
