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. 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.
