The '''Meerut North metro station''' is an [[elevated]] [[Meerut Metro]] station on the Delhi–Ghaziabad–Meerut RRTS corridor (also known as the '''Namo Bharat''' corridor) serving Pallavpuram in [[Meerut]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[India]]. It serves as a halt for Meerut Metro trains that run at a speed of 120 km/h. The RRTS trains, which do not stop here, pass through the station at a speed of 160 km/h. The station is constructed, owned and operated by the [[National Capital Region Transport Corporation]] (NCRTC). The station was inaugurated on 22 February 2026.<ref name="IT">{{Cite web |date=2026-02-22 |title=PM inaugurates India's fastest metro in Meerut, entire Namo Bharat corridor |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/pm-modi-namo-bharat-delhi-meerut-rrts-meerut-metro-yogi-adityanath-inauguration-2872326-2026-02-22|access-date=2026-02-22 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-02-22 |title=Delhi–Meerut RRTS now fully operational: Will improved connectivity drive real estate demand along the corridor? |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/real-estate/delhimeerut-rrts-now-fully-operational-will-improved-connectivity-drive-real-estate-demand-along-the-corridor-101771743611396.html |access-date=2026-02-22 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}</ref>

== History ==
The station is part of the 23 km-long Meerut Metro segment within the Delhi–Meerut RRTS corridor. Construction works began in 2020 under the supervision of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC). All major civil works and finishing works, including electrical and platform installations, were completed by January 2026, paving the way for the station's inauguration with the entire RRTS and metro corridors on 22 February 2026.<ref name="IT"/><ref>{{cite web |date=April 2025 |title=Delhi–Meerut RRTS construction update: Meerut North metro station nears completion |url=https://meerutmetro.in/meerut-north-meerut-metro-station|access-date=7 March 2026 |publisher=Meerut Metro}}</ref>

== Location ==
The station is located on [[National Highway 334B (India)|NH-334B]], which runs from [[Meerut]] to [[Roorkee]] in [[Uttarakhand]], just north of a hospital, south of the road leading to Pallavpuram, 750 metres north of [[National Highway 58 (India, old numbering)|Old NH-58]] (Meerut Bypass), {{cvt|3.5|km}} east of Pabli Khas railway station on the [[Delhi–Meerut–Saharanpur line]] of the [[Indian Railways]], and is surrounded by densely populated areas. Thanks to its location, the metro station provides direct access to local and major transport routes, commercial and residential zones.

== Design and structure ==
The station is designed as an elevated structure with two [[island platforms]] and four tracks. The platforms have metro tracks on one side and RRTS tracks on the other. Only one side of the platform (facing the metro tracks) is accessible to passengers, with doors opening onto the metro trains. The other side of the platform (facing the RRTS tracks) is inaccessible to passengers, as RRTS trains pass through without stopping at these stations, thus technically making the platforms [[side platforms]]. This design has optimized land use and reduced construction costs, while also leaving space for future expansion or modifications.<ref>{{cite news|last=Mukul|first=Sushil|title=How India rolled out high-speed rail, metro using common tracks|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/how-namo-bharat-delhi-meerut-rrts-metro-share-tracks-launch-alwar-panipat-karnal-neemrana-2873080-2026-02-24|work=India Today|date=24 February 2026|access-date=8 March 2026|language=en}}</ref>

=== Facilities ===

* Four lifts and six escalators
* Passenger waiting areas
* Ticket vending machines and smartcard facilities
* CCTV surveillance and security systems
* [[Platform screen doors]] (PSDs)
* Dedicated facilities for physically challenged passengers
* Parking and drop-off zones for last-mile connectivity

== Connectivity ==
Apart from serving the metro, the station has made multiple transport options accessible for ease of travel, including local modes like [[autorickshaws]], buses, cabs and the nearby Pabli Khas railway station. These plus points have improved accessibility and have cut down travel time from Pallavpuram to Meerut South, directly to Delhi through the RRTS, to the Meerut city centre, and to Modipuram in the city's north.

== Future ==
In view of rising in traffic due to growth in population, Meerut's city expansion and heightened demand for Delhi, Meerut North, along with all 13 stations of the metro, have sufficient spaces to expand into RRTS stations to allow both the metro and RRTS trains to halt for handling passengers. This expansion will make the metro stations aligned with the RRTS services, thus enhancing connectivity between Delhi and Meerut even further in the next 10-20 years.
