Key Highlights:
The name change will remain in effect for 10 years.
This is part of RTA’s effort to generate non-fare revenue by partnering with prominent brands.
National Paints, a leading regional brand, joins a list of companies with naming rights to Dubai Metro stations.
Why It Is Important
The action demonstrates Dubai RTA’s creative funding approach, which transforms public infrastructure into chances for branding.
Renaming well-known metro stations promotes sustainable transportation development and raises brand awareness.
🗺️ Location Note: Situated on the Red Line, the recently renamed National Paints Metro Station is a major centre for commuters in the Jebel Ali industrial sector.
🔄 What’s Next:

The RTA plans to continue expanding its station naming rights programme with more long-term brand partnerships.
This strategic renaming is another step in Dubai’s model of blending public infrastructure with corporate investment.
