Plain card with a clock icon and the text Bhopal Metro timings, timetable effective 15 September 2026

Short answer: The latest official Bhopal Metro timetable is effective from 15 September 2026. From Monday to Saturday the first train leaves Subhash Nagar at 11:30 and AIIMS at 12:00. The last train leaves Subhash Nagar at 19:00 and AIIMS at 19:30. On Sundays and public holidays the last trains are at 20:00 and 20:30.

This is an independent guide. It is not an MPMRCL website and it does not speak for MPMRCL, the Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

Timetable effective 15 September 2026

MPMRCL published two PDF sheets, one for weekdays and one for Sundays and holidays. We read the departure times from those sheets. Times are in the 24-hour format used on the sheets.

Monday to Saturday (sheet labelled “Weekdays”)

First train: 11:30 from Subhash Nagar, 12:00 from AIIMS.
Last train: departs Subhash Nagar at 19:00 (reaches AIIMS at 19:23). Departs AIIMS at 19:30 (reaches Subhash Nagar at 19:52).
Frequency: every 30 minutes until 16:30 from Subhash Nagar (17:00 from AIIMS), then every 15 minutes until the last train.
Number of departures: 21 from each end, 42 in total.

Sundays and public holidays

First train: 11:30 from Subhash Nagar, 12:00 from AIIMS.
Last train: departs Subhash Nagar at 20:00 (reaches AIIMS at 20:23). Departs AIIMS at 20:30 (reaches Subhash Nagar at 20:52).
Frequency: every 30 minutes until 12:30, then every 15 minutes until the last train. From Subhash Nagar the 15-minute trains start at 12:30, 12:45, 13:00. From AIIMS they start at 13:00, 13:15.
Number of departures: 33 from each end, 66 in total.

Travel time

The timetable shows 23 minutes from Subhash Nagar to AIIMS. Trains from Subhash Nagar reach Kendriya Vidyalaya after 4 minutes, Board Office Chauraha after 7, MP Nagar after 10, Rani Kamalapati after 13, DRM Office after 16.5, Alkapuri after 19.5 and AIIMS after 23. The same pattern is on the Sunday sheet. See the stations guide for the station order.

What is not confirmed

Saturdays: The sheet is labelled “Weekdays” and there is no separate Saturday sheet. It is implied, but not stated, that Saturday uses the weekday sheet. Not confirmed, so check at the station.
Public holidays: The Sunday and holiday sheet exists, but whether it applies to every gazetted holiday is not confirmed. Check at the station.
Station gates: A July 2026 news report said entry and exit gates open 15 minutes before the first train. That was before the 11:30 start, so it is not confirmed for the current timetable.
Later notices: We found no newer timetable notice between 15 September and 12 November 2026. The MPMRCL homepage still linked the 15 September files on 12 November. Please check the official website for any change.

A conflict in news reports

Some newspaper reports do not match the official sheets. The Hitavada (15 September 2026) and Free Press Journal (6 August 2026) describe a 9:00 start and Sunday last trains at 19:30 and 20:00. The official PDF effective 15 September says 11:30 and 20:00 or 20:30, so we follow the official PDF. If your plan is tight, confirm with the station or the helpline, 0755-2850000.

How the timetable has changed

Bhopal Metro timings have changed several times. Dates below are as reported by the named outlets.

21 December 2025: 9:00 to 19:00 daily, 17 trips a day (Free Press Journal, 18 December 2025).
6 January 2026: service starting at 12:00, a train about every 75 minutes, 13 trips (Daily Jagran, 7 January 2026).
3 April 2026: 11:00 to 16:30 with 9 trips, on a single track, with signalling work given as the reason (Free Press Journal, 1 April 2026).
25 July 2026: after dual-track operation, 50 trips a day. Trains from 9:00 (Subhash Nagar) and 9:30 (AIIMS) until 18:30 and 19:00. Every 15 minutes in the peaks 9:00 to 10:30 and 17:30 to 19:00, and every 30 minutes otherwise (Dainik Jagran, 24 July 2026). One Free Press Journal link for this change says “July 14” while its text says 25 July, so we use the 25 July date given by Jagran.
August 2026: Free Press Journal reported on 6 August that Sunday services would run every 15 minutes with an extra hour. The effective date was not stated.
15 September 2026: the current official sheets described above.

We have left out one mid-June 2026 schedule snapshot because no effective date was given.

Tips for planning a trip

Work out your last train from the end where you will board, because the last train from Subhash Nagar and from AIIMS leave at different times.
Do not rely on old screenshots of the timetable. The service has changed several times since December 2025.
Check the ticket price on our fares and tickets guide.
