How to Reach Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium
Plan the route to Ekana Stadium in Lucknow by metro feeder, bus, train, flight or road, then confirm the ticketed gate and event-day traffic plan before travel.
Ekana Stadium Nearest Metro Station
Lucknow Metro does not currently stop at the stadium gate. UPMRC’s August 2026 feeder network lists an electric bus from Indira Nagar Metro Station through Ekana Stadium and Ahmamau.

- UPMRC electric feeder service

Transport Nagar Metro Station has also been used for special match-day shuttles, including a documented 2024 IPL service. Treat that link as event-specific unless UPMRC announces it again.
By Bus
For the stadium’s final public-transport connection, the strongest current official evidence is UPMRC’s electric feeder service via Indira Nagar, Polytechnic, Husadiya, Ekana Stadium, Ahmamau and Utratia.
