The rolling stock of Kolkata Metro, India consists of five classes, three classes for Line 1, one of which is also used for Line 3 and Line 6, and two classes for Line 2.

All trains receive 750 V DC using third rail electrification system. Trains can operate up to eight (Lines 1, 3 and 6) and six (Line 2) cars in length.

Since Kolkata Metro was constructed in 1970s, there were some technical limitations. Due to the tunnel dimensions, and being under Indian Railways, Kolkata Metro opted Indian metre gauge shell (22.7 m (74 ft 6 in)) with 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) tracks for Line 1, which was later used for Line 3 and Line 6. So the options of rake manufacturers for Lines 1, 3 and 6 are very limited. On the other hand, Line 2 uses the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge tracks similar to most other Indian metro networks.^[1]
