Tiruchirappalli Metro or Trichy Metro is a proposed rapid transit system for the city of Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu. Initially the system was proposed as the Tiruchirappalli Monorail [1] but after feasibility study it was recommended to be a metro rail project. The initial proposal recommended two lines of 45 km in length with 45 stations. [2]
Then Governor of Tamil Nadu, Banwarilal Brohit announced in the Legislative assembly during 2011 that the Government of Tamil Nadu has decided to do a feasibility study for introducing monorail system in Trichy along with Coimbatore and Madurai. [1] But with the political changes in the state the project was without any progress. During 2022 the proposal was converted to study a mass transit system for the city and in 2023 it was proposed to build a full fledged metro for the city with two corridors.
