Indian-made Metro in Mauritius Wows with Clean, Calm Stations

A video of a clean, well-maintained metro station in Mauritius has gone viral online, sparking admiration and questions from Indian viewers. The footage shows a smooth-running station with spotless platforms, orderly passengers waiting in lines, and a tidy, disciplined atmosphere. Many viewers are asking, “Why isn’t our metro this clean and organized?”

The video was shared on X by a user who explained that the Mauritius Metrolite Project was funded by the Indian government and built by Indian company Larsen & Toubro (L&T).

The metro train arrives quietly in Port Louis, the capital, with passengers standing neatly on both sides of the doors, allowing others to exit first — all signs of a well-managed system.

What’s surprising many is that this metro was designed and constructed by Indian firms, including the Systra Group, which often works on Indian metro projects.

Despite India’s experience in building metros, similar cleanliness and order are rarely seen in Indian systems.

This story highlights the impressive results of India’s international metro projects, which have cost significant investments.

For example, the Mauritius Metrolite Project was part of India’s efforts to expand its metro expertise abroad.

The viral video has sparked conversations about why Indian metro systems at home don’t always match this level of cleanliness and efficiency.
