State guide · 1 of 4 cities live
The Indian Metros
Delhi · Mumbai · Kolkata · Chennai
In 60 seconds
Four cities that run the country — the capital, the port of dreams, the city of joy and the gateway to the south. Not where India keeps its past; where it lives its present.
How The Indian Metros is being written
The same treatment, city by city
Every state we publish gets what Rajasthan got: each city told in acts from its founding to this morning, a ranked edit of what to see and in what order, Look Closer at the signature landmark, every fee and timing sourced and dated, a twelve-frame Shot List with the standing position and the light — and a 32-page City Edition you can print and carry. We write one state at a time, and we don’t publish a city until it is checked. Delhi is live; Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai are in production now.
The model for all of it is Rajasthan — seven cities, complete — and the first City Edition is complimentary.
