Kanpur Metro Cuts Hours for Diwali: Check New Timings
Planning to travel during the festival? Check the revised Kanpur Metro Diwali timings for November 8 to avoid missing your train.
Commuters in Kanpur need to plan their travel carefully this festive season as the Kanpur Metro Diwali timings have been officially revised. To mark the celebrations of the festival of lights, the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) has announced a temporary reduction in operational hours for the network.
Early Shutdown on November 8
According to the official directive issued by the UPMRC, metro services will not run until the usual late-night hours on November 8. Instead, operations across the entire network will be restricted, and services will conclude early in the evening.
Passengers should take note that the final trains will depart from the terminal stations at the following time:
- IIT Station: Last train departs at 7:00 PM
- Kanpur Central Station: Last train departs at 7:00 PM
Why the Change?
The decision to curtail services was made to balance the operational requirements of the holiday with the needs of the passengers during the Diwali evening. This modification is strictly a one-day arrangement and applies exclusively to the day of the festival.
When will normal services resume?
There is no need for long-term concern for daily commuters. The metro is set to return to its standard operational schedule starting the day after the festival. Once the temporary restriction is lifted, trains will once again run during their regular window from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
Travelers are advised to keep these timings in mind to ensure they reach their destinations before the 7:00 PM cutoff on November 8.
