The rolling stock of [[Kolkata Metro]] consists of five classes, three classes for [[Blue Line (Kolkata Metro)|Blue]] and [[Yellow Line (Kolkata Metro)|Yellow]] Lines, one of which is also used for [[Purple Line (Kolkata Metro)|Purple]] and [[Orange Line (Kolkata Metro)|Orange]] Lines, and one class for [[Green Line (Kolkata Metro)|Green Line]].

All trains receive 750 V DC using [[third rail]] electrification system. Trains can operate up to eight (Blue, Purple, Orange and Yellow Lines) and six (Green Line) cars in length.

Since Kolkata Metro was constructed in 1970s, there were some technical limitations. Due to the tunnel dimensions, and being under Indian Railways, Kolkata Metro opted Indian metre gauge shell ({{Cvt|22.7|m|ftin}}) with {{Track gauge|1676 mm|allk=on}} tracks for Blue Line, which was later used for Purple, Orange and Yellow Lines. So the options of rake manufacturers for Blue, Purple, Orange and Yellow Lines are very limited. On the other hand, Green Line uses the {{Track gauge|1435 mm|allk=on}} tracks similar to most other Indian metro networks.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/8am-on-valentines-day-your-date-with-east-west-metro/articleshow/73944004.cms|title=8am on Valentine's Day; Your date with East-West Metro|last1=Chakraborty|first=1Ajanta|date=5 February 2020|first2=Jayanta|last2=Gupta|website=The Times of India|access-date=2020-02-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200205180500/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/8am-on-valentines-day-your-date-with-east-west-metro/articleshow/73944004.cms|archive-date=2020-02-05|url-status=live}}</ref>

These are the first AC trains that were passed into service in 2010, after the elevated corridor from [[Mahanayak Uttam Kumar metro station|Mahanayak Uttam Kumar]] to [[Kavi Nazrul metro station|Kavi Nazrul]] was completed. Later, as the last extension from [[Kavi Nazrul metro station|Kavi Nazrul]] to [[Kavi Subhash metro station|Kavi Subhash]] was finished, more 3000 series rakes were introduced. These trains are manufactured by ICF in collaboration with [[Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited|BHEL]]. Presently there are 13 (3000 series) rakes, which are operating on Blue Line. These rakes are numbed AC''n/n+1'' (where (''n+1)/2'' is the rake number). The rolling stocks numbers are now being changed to MR-30''n'' (where ''n'' is the rake no.; 1, 2, 3....18) as they are being gradually repainted to white and violet. Some rakes are also used in [[Yellow Line (Kolkata Metro)|Yellow Line]].<ref name="First look: your swank AC Metro" />

2 prototype rakes manufactured by ICF Chennai and Medha and were supplied to Kolkata Metro by September 2017. These trains were extremely snagprone and Kolkata Metro officials took 2 years to fix the snags and to bring these trains into operation. Some of these trains were sent back to ICF during testing phase. These trains are completely different from existing AC trains made by ICF, BHEL, Knorr-Bremse. These trains have 3 phase alternating current motors, [[regenerative braking]], stainless steel body, CCTV cameras (not present in rakes, numbered as MR-401 & MR-402), and better passenger information system. 14 rakes were delivered by April 2021.On 3 April 2019, the first ICF MEDHA rake ran between Noapara and New Garia, after 20 months. Gradually followed by 2 more rakes. After the initial hiccups these trains are praised by passengers for their comfort during braking and acceleration. Metro expressed satisfaction over the performance of the rakes as these rakes are more energy efficient. These rakes are numbed MR-40''n'' (where ''n'' is the rake no.; 1, 2, 3....18). As of 2025, 18 such trains operate on Blue line. The last 3 trains of this type are compatible with both [[Communications-based train control|CBTC]] and the present [[Distance to go|DTG]] signalling system, although CBTC is not used on Blue line.<ref>{{Citation|title=Kolkata Metro to run trains at every 90 Seconds on North–South Corridor!|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnZdwa5RsCQ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211220/qnZdwa5RsCQ |archive-date=2021-12-20 |url-status=live|access-date=2019-08-11}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.medha.com/index.php/applications/metros|title=Kolkata Metro}}</ref>

As of 2025, two sets of [[Integral Coach Factory|ICF]] MEDHA rakes with the rake numbers MR-417 and MR-418 have been brought to the Joka Depot and are currently operational on [[Purple Line (Kolkata Metro)|Purple Line]].

As of 2025, two sets of ICF MEDHA rakes are also currently operational on [[Orange Line (Kolkata Metro)|Orange Line]] similar to Purple Line. Some rakes are also used in [[Yellow Line (Kolkata Metro)|Yellow Line]].

There was a need to replace non-AC rakes on Blue Line and so during mid 2015 it was announced that Indian Railways for the first time would rope an international train-maker, [[CRRC|China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC)]] based in [[Dalian]].<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/modern-chinese-rakes-for-kolkata-metro-115061700716_1.html|title=Modern Chinese rakes for Kolkata Metro|last1=Basak|first1=Probal|date=20 June 2015|website=Business Standard India|access-date=5 March 2019}}</ref> As per the tender, 14 rakes composed of 8 coaches each were to be supplied to Kolkata metro by CNR Dalian Locomotive company, a subsidiary of CRRC, which will be running on Blue Line. These rakes will be of ultra-modern technology. They will have doors that will be {{Cvt|20|cm}} wider than any other metro rails in India. They will have wide vestibules, {{Convert|2|ft|6|in}} wider than the existing trains. The design consists of the aerodynamic front with large doors and LED lights, and violet colored stripe on silver color body. These rakes are capable of a top speed of {{Cvt|80|km/h}}. The first of the 14 rakes from Chinese firm Dalian was slated to arrive by December 2017 but got delayed due to various reasons. The first rake finally arrived in Kolkata on 3 March 2019 on a vessel at Netaji Subhas Dock (NSD).<ref name=":2">{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/west-bengal/metro-rake-from-china-off-vessel/cid/1686223|title=Metro rake from China off vessel|website=www.telegraphindia.com|access-date=5 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306043437/https://www.telegraphindia.com/states/west-bengal/metro-rake-from-china-off-vessel/cid/1686223|archive-date=6 March 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Each of the 8 coaches of the rake weigh nearly 45 tonnes. The rake was unloaded and taken to [[Noapara, India|Noapara]] carshed after which trial runs and inspection would be carried out before commencing operations. Other 13 rakes are ready, but the shipment got delayed due to the ongoing [[COVID-19 pandemic|coronavirus pandemic]].

These rakes were under performance trials for more than 20 months as serious problems related to performance of the rake were identified during trials. Some of the issues related to insufficient power to climb up the slopes in the tunnels and higher oscillation in the bogie.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=http://www.crrcgc.cc/dl/g8425/s16347/t282022.aspx|title=印度加尔各答地铁车辆_产品中心_城轨_大连公司|website=www.crrcgc.cc|access-date=2019-08-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190812123646/http://www.crrcgc.cc/dl/g8425/s16347/t282022.aspx|archive-date=2019-08-12|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=25 June 2020|first=Jayanta |last=Gupta|title=Kolkata: With Chinese signal system deal off the table, fate of 13 Dalian Metro rakes hangs in balance |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/with-chinese-signal-system-deal-off-the-table-fate-of-13-dalian-metro-rakes-hangs-in-balance/articleshow/76591021.cms|access-date=2020-09-06|website=The Times of India}}</ref>

On 17th March 2023, the first Dalian rake was inducted into service. In August 2024, two more Dalian rakes were introduced on the Blue line - MR513 and MR514. Till August 2025, MR-504, MR-512, MR-507, MR-508, MR-509, MR-510 joined the fleet. MR-508 and MR-510 are specifically allotted for the Yellow Line. {{clear}}

By 1988–90, 9 more rakes manufactured by ICF were procured and put in service when the system expanded. These rakes were tougher and had higher acceleration than the previous ones. The colors of these trains were dark green with a yellow stripe at the bottom, later they were repainted in white with a blue stripe and lastly, they were sky blue with a deep blue band at the bottom.
