Blue line (Line 1):- Line 1 or Blue line metro of Kolkata Metro has a total length of 31.365 km serving 26 stations of which 15 are underground, 9 are elevated and 2 at-grade. It uses the 5 ft 6 in broad gauge tracks. It was the first underground railway to be built in India with the first trains running in October 1984 and the full stretch that had been initially planned completed and operational by February 1995. The southward extension of Blue line to an elevated corridor from Tollygunge to New Garia was constructed and opened in two phases, Mahanayak Uttam Kumar to Kavi Nazrul in 2009 and Kavi Nazrul to Kavi Subhash in 2010. Another extension constructed was 2.59 km elevated corridor from Dum Dum to Noapara in 2013. The last 4.13 km extension from Noapara to Dakshineswar opened in 2021, thus completing the Blue line.

Green line (Line 2):- Green Line or Line 2 metro is the second metro corridor to connect Kolkata with Howrah by an underwater metro line below the Hooghly River. The length was supposed to be 14.67 km, 8.9 km underground and 5.77 km elevated. However, the project was stalled several times due to land acquisition and slum relocation issues. A major route realignment in 2013 increased the length to 16.55 km. The elevated stretch is 5.77 km long while the underground stretch is 10.81 km. The planned intersection with Blue line at Central was re-aligned to Esplanade (interchange with Blue line and Purple line). Between Mahakaran and Howrah Station, the metro will run under the Hooghly River – the biggest underwater metro in India. Transfer stations with railways will be located at Sealdah and Howrah. A new elevated extension from Salt Lake Sector V to VIP Road/Teghoria (Haldiram) was sanctioned, a distance of 5.5 km at a budget of ₹674 crore in 2016. From VIP Road/Teghoria (Haldiram), passengers can take the Orange Line metro (VIP Road Station) to Biman Bandar.

Purple line (Line 3):- Previously, the stretch from Thakurpukur to Majerhat was surveyed as a branch line of the circular railway, and a metro line from Majerhat to Dakshineswar via Sealdah (interchange with Green line) was planned. This plan was scrapped and a new metro line from further south in Joka to BBD Bagh was sanctioned in 2010–2011 with a total length of 17.22 km at an anticipated cost of ₹2,619.02 crore. Later the route was truncated to Esplanade. The corridor runs along Diamond Harbour Road, Khidirpur Road and Jawaharlal Nehru Road, major arterial roads of Kolkata, and has passenger interchange facilities with Blue line at Esplanade.

Yellow line (Line 4):- The work of integrating the Circular Railway from Dum Dum to Biman Bandar into a 6.249 km new metro line from Dum Dum to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport was sanctioned in the 2010–2011 budget. The cost of the project is ₹184.83 crore. An eastward extension from Biman Bandar to Barasat over 10.627 km was also sanctioned and included in the 2010–2011 budget. The cost of the project is ₹2,397.72 crore.

Pink line (Line 5):- The Pink Line is the northward extension from Baranagar to Barrackpore [12.45 km]. It was sanctioned at a cost of ₹2,069.6 crore in the 2010–2011 budget. This line was meant to enable a quick commute from the northernmost suburbs to South Kolkata.

Orange line (Line 6):- A connection between New Garia and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (29.87 km) via EM Bypass, Salt Lake and Rajarhat-New Town was sanctioned to reduce travel time between the southern fringes of Kolkata and the airport. Work on this line was inaugurated by the then Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee on 7 February 2011 with a project deadline of six years. The link between Kavi Subhash and Jai Hind, to be set up at a cost of ₹4,259.50 crore, will have 24 stations with the terminal Jai Hind metro station being an underground one. This line will have interchanges at Kavi Subhash (with Blue line); Salt Lake Sector V (with Green line) and Teghoria/VIP Road (again with Green line).
