Month by month in 2026
The portal's monthly totals, in millions, were: January 1.64, February 1.78, March 2.72, April 2.77, May 2.91, June 3.06, July 2.94, August 3.52, September 3.24 and October 3.35. The rise from February to March follows the opening of the final sections and Meerut Metro on 22 February 2026, when the line reached its 23 stations. August is the highest month in the list.
August also included the Kanwar Yatra period, 30 July to 14 August, when NCRTC added 52 extra trips and shortened the gap to 8 minutes, as ThePrint reported. We cannot tell from the portal how much of the August total came from that period.
What the numbers do not say
The feed carries no publication date, so we treat the read date as its date. It also does not split riders between Namo Bharat and Meerut Metro, or between Standard and Premium. Treat the figures as operator-published totals, not audited numbers.
Fares, stations and the Delhi links are explained in the Meerut guide.
