Guangzhou Metro Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd. is a China-based company specializing in engineering and consultancy for urban rail transit, municipal, and construction projects. A subsidiary of the state-owned Guangzhou Metro Group, the institute was established in 1993 and became the first A-share listed rail transit design enterprise in China after its IPO on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in October 2020.

Its core business revolves around providing comprehensive solutions for urban transit, from feasibility studies and line network planning to detailed engineering designs for stations, tunnels, depots, and systems. The firm serves a variety of clients in the public transportation and infrastructure sectors. The company leverages advanced technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and invests approximately 5% of its annual revenue into research and development to enhance its smart and sustainable transit solutions.
