The underground stretch between R.B.S. College Metro Station and Khandari Ramp on Agra Metro Corridor-1 has completed primary civil works; architectural finishes, systems installation and track-laying are underway. Track-laying at Khandari Ramp is advancing.

Corridor-1 runs 14 km from Taj East Gate to Sikandara, with 6 elevated and 7 underground stations. Its 6 km priority section, Taj East Gate–Mankameshwar, has carried passengers since 6 March 2024; it was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath present. The second corridor, Agra Cantt.–Kalindi Vihar, is 15.4 km long and has 14 elevated stations. The two corridors total 29.4 km.

A 3 km underground section was completed in 18 months; tunnelling took 11 months after the Tunnel Boring Machine was launched by the Chief Minister. Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited, a 50:50 joint venture of the Union and Uttar Pradesh governments, is implementing the project.

UPMRC has built 43 pillars on the one-kilometre Khandari Chauraha–ISBT stretch of National Highway-19 and placed 70 of 82 girders. Track-laying is due to begin next month and is expected to take three weeks; electrical lines will also be installed. The ISBT station is targeted for completion by September and will have a foot overbridge, three lifts and two escalators.

The 14-kilometre corridor runs from TDI Mall on Fatehabad Road to Sikandra Tiraha. Seven kilometres of underground track and four kilometres of elevated track are complete; work continues on the remaining three-kilometre elevated section from Khandari Chauraha to Sikandra, using four rig machines. Pillars are 77–80 feet deep, 3–4 metres in diameter and spaced 28 metres apart.

A new road cut near Guru Ka Tal on NH-19 is due to open Friday, replacing an older cut that will be temporarily closed for pillar excavation. One lane of the Khandari flyover is closed for expansion-joint repairs expected to take a week, with speed restricted to 30 kmph. NHAI is surveying the ISBT flyover after slight sinking; repairs may follow.
