Out of the 31 km stretch of the corridor between Raidurg metro station and the Airport terminal in Shamshabad, 29.3 km will be elevated stretch and 1.7 km will be underground. The line will have nine stations including one underground metro station adjacent to the airport terminal.

“In view of the large-scale development of commercial and residential skyscrapers along the airport metro line and the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s vision of facilitating cost-effective accommodation on the outskirts and reverse commute to workplaces in the city by Airport Metro line, provision has also been kept for construction of four additional stations in future,” the release stated.
