Ahmedabad metro

Old High Court Metro Station: Ahmedabad Metro remained operational until nearly 2:19 a.m. after the IPL 2026 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, as a record surge in late-night passenger traffic pushed total metro journeys close to two lakh in a single day.

According to Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC), 1,95,868 passenger journeys were recorded across the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar metro network on May 31, the day of the IPL final, marking a 66 per cent increase over the 1,17,939 journeys registered a week earlier on May 24.

The sharp rise came as tens of thousands of spectators relied on the metro network before and after the high-profile final between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera.
